Oh wow that is amazing. I hope they find a new home but, in the mean time, am glad they're together and safe.

Any updates for a fundraiser or anything like that please do let us know.

A happy ending

Blind dog found alive after 2 weeks in cold

"FAIRBANKS — Eleven-year-old Madera, a Labrador retriever, had the odds against her when she wandered away from her Ester home in the midst of a cold snap earlier this month."

May be a bit biased but here's another great dog story. Meet Marsha whom I'm happy to say is still alive and kicking a year and a half later.

I'm proud to call her adoptive owners, my aunt Judy and uncle Jeff.

This one is a year and a half old, but I still look it up when I need a mood lift. Good doggie!

How about this one: This stray dog followed this extreme sports team 430 miles after one of the members fed him a meatball. This was a Swedish team down in Ecuador. They ended up adopting the dog and taking him all the way back to Sweden.

in visiting different notable sites, I've come across dog stories...at Gettysburg for one. another is the hoover dam. people think there are dam workers buried there...but there aren't. but a dog is.
