LG....Yep.
I've got the best dog in the world. He was rescued from a low socio-economic town nearby....look s like a great dog to me, but was probably abandoned because he has weak pasterns on both front paws. Cruel yes, but would his life have been different had someone else adopted him? Or worse, NOT adopted him? YES! He's by far been the best and easiest dog to train in my life! He can sit, stay, come, down, off, shake, roll over, play dead, and were working on leave it! His tail even wags in circles! I don't like to think about what would have happened if I left him there.
Thanks for this post, now I'll donate to SPCA. They're great with their low-cost spay-neuter program in our town, and they're at every function spreading that message, and adopting dogs/cats locally.
This is him, being patient with Bella as a pupper.
