Dog Story
November 29th, 2004This dog walked into my neighbors house one day while she was getting some appliances delivered. To say the dog had fallen into neglect would be a gross understatement. It lumbered around with a limp, and long, knotted, burr-filled fur that felt to me in spots as if it were some kind of tumor. Obviously, it hadn’t been given proper care for quite some time.
When I first saw the animal I wasn’t really sure it was a dog at all—a sheep or an arctic wildebeest, maybe, but definitely not a dog. Although it probably has good reason, it didn’t seem frightened or angry at people in any way—just tired and disinterested from being left out in the cold. But several days later, after living in our garage, and under the patient grooming care of my neighbors, the dog somehow sprung back to life—looking an behaving more like a companion pet with each passing day. I’m happy to say that the dog it is now vibrant and healthy. In fact, it seems to like people very much.
This dog is a female Samoyed and still in need of a proper home. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested.
