We got Rudy from some friends who rescued him but couldn't keep him. He was a year old and already had been severley abused - broken ribs and broken jaw, and God only knows what else. It took a vet to surgically remove the choker chain he had out grown. It was imbedded in his neck. We took him in and have had him now for over 12 years. And when we adopted 2 mini dachshund puppies, he became father and protector. And he continues to watch his girls and make sure no one other than family get near them after 10 years.
