I have been in rescue for many years now and when asked if I could take on a puppy that was 9 days old and had been the at the hands of an abuser I could not help but say yes. Feeding 6 to 7 times a day watching the awful scar that she would be facing from no fault of her own. I watched her grow and heal all the while stealing more and more space in my heart. As we bonded I had no idea that it would be a bond that Nova had worked into my heart as well. I have loved all my foster fur babies but Nova loved me back and refused to love another more than she loves me. She was scared of other people from the beginning beside my immediate family. Her big golden eyes would stare into your soul. When she went to be spayed was when I had to face the fact that I was in love with this intelligent, beautiful dog. She was so scared and wanted to stay with me but the reunion after was what did me in. She actually cried when I picked her up. Verbally and physically letting me know she would not be separated from me or my family again if she had a choice. At that moment I could not have agreed with her more.
