This weekend I was not able to ignore a call in my heart to look at city shelters for a dog. I spent a four hours looking at pictures of dogs. Eventually our family went to two local shelters. When we arrived into one building at our west side shelter I immediately noticed a dog huddled under a pile of three other dogs being violated by another male dog who was obviously trying to dominate him. This sad little dog seemed completely malnourished with ribs and hip bones sticking out. We spent a little time with him and decided that he was going home with us!
After a few days we quickly realizes that without human intervention, this dog will allow any other dog to come along and eat its food. We knew that if we had not adopted him that he would had been dead in a matter of days. He gained four pounds in a couple of weeks which equates to about fourty perent of his body weight!
Meet Buster! ! :D
Not only has he quickly become a part of the family, but he has transformed my son. It is as if he has filled my son's only child syndrome. He is happier, more mindful, kind and interested in everything now. Buster has been truly a blessing!
