It was a cold and rainy fall day in Hico, TX. I was out in the yard cleaning up when I heard this little whine-like noise. After looking around I spotted it: a dark ball of wet fur in the corner of my front porch. He was wet, scared, and very skinny. As I picked him up I noticed that he was shivering. No tags or collar, either. It was pretty obvious that he had been dumped. It happens in our town as I'm sure it does elsewhere.
I was unsure of what to do with him until he looked at me with those beautiful brown puppy dog eyes. I was hooked. I brought him into the house and my other pets took to him right away. It was settled; he was mine. He still is mine to this day, although that little puppy turned into an 80-pound German Shepard mix. We are best friends and he is the smartest dog ever. Whoever dumped him lost the best companion anyone could want. He only has one bad habit though...he's a bed hog!
