Although my husband and I have rescued many, I will talk about our most recent, Bear. For a few years there was a black dog next to where I worked. On a chain and tied to a spike, myself and co-workers would play with him and give him treats. It was obvious he loved people and wanted to play. We brought him food, better shelter and bedding several times.
Then I could stand it NO longer. I talked with Bear’s owner and asked if I could have him and would be willing to pay for him. Bear’s owner looked so happy and relieved that I would take him. Unfortunately Bear’s owner passed away a month or so later. So I considered it divine intervention that I was there to take him into my home. Bear is my shadow and definitely my protector.
