Pichi is a street dog that was rescued from under a car on a fast speed avenue when she was about 2 months old. My husband and our youngest daughter stopped the car that almost ran over her, my husband got under the car and pulled her out. Thankfully, apart from being scared to death and shaky, she was OK. They brought her home all grungy, smelly and flea ridden (we already had two cats, a dog and 2 parakeets, so.....), but her eyes, her look made me fall in love with her, so we cleaned her up, fed her, and then she let us know she wasn't going anywhere...she was here to stay.....she had adopted us as her family!! Normally when my daughters bring home strays (cats and/or dogs), we feed them, bathe them and take them to our vet so he can help find them a good home, but Pichi, she stole our hearts, it's been two years now. We thought she was a small breed dog.....haha....we were wrong. But it doesn't matter, she has to be the sweetest, most intelligent and precious dog, the only thing left for her to do is speak!! I wish we could do the same with all the cats and dogs we find or see in the streets... :).
