I had another dog that was old and sick. Her name was Maxie. She was an 11 years old Boxer. She and I became one together. As time went by, I knew she was lonely and needed a friend of her own. I went to our local SPCA in Newport News, Virginia. I was looking for a dog that would get along with my two children and that would be a great friend to Maxie.
I had my name on another dog, but the owner came in and took her at the last second. I walked around and started looking at others that they had. I saw a little dog in a cage that was sitting all the way to the back of it. He was so cute and he was so afraid. The young guy that was working there told me that he could go right then. I was so shocked because there was usually a waiting list, but this puppy could leave today. I took this precious gift with me that day.
I lost my other dog Maxie a short time later. My new pup Rodman has been my best friend and angel ever since. I tell everyone that they should adopt a pet, they are a gift from God.
