This is my dog Duke. I found him on the street almost 13 years ago. I found him about 3 blocks from Hollywood Park back in July of 1994.

I finally got some good pictures of him last week.

He is the sweetest, friendliest dog in the world. He loves everybody. He is somewhere between 13 1/2 and 14 1/2 years old.

He seems like he is doing fine now. I think the vet misdiagnosed him. I think it was just an acute kidney problem, rather than a chronic one. I'm going to take him back to the vet in a couple of days and they will re-do the tests.

His appetite is great. I'm pretty sure he is fine now, but I won't know for sure until later in the week.

When I first found him, I didn't even realize how beautiful he was. He was kind of dishevelled and he was very skinny. He was full grown but he only weighed about 45 pounds. He was somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He weighs 60 pounds now.

He looks very happy, lucky for him you went to the track that day.

I'm not going to get a dog again until I get married. It's too big of a responsibility having a dog when you live alone.

I'm going to take him to VCA this time. I have more faith in their lab than my current vet. VCA has all the best equipment and technology.

Hoping Duke is ok. I had a dog named Duke when I was a kid.

I wish I was a cat person... they drive me bonkers. I love having a dog because they crave your attention. Most cats don't give a shiat about you. LOL

Rupert your dog is beautiful...I love old dogs...I have a lab that is 11 that acts like he is 2...

Great looking dog, Rupert.

My handle, "Dunbar", comes from a dog I had for 10 years and adored. (I named the dog after a character in Catch-22). I made several cross-country trips with Dunbar--he was darn good company!
