Guest Mutts4Me Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I was inspired by Sanvean's post "The Longest Walk." It hit home, and I had to share a happy ending to a similar situation: Sasha was a neighborhood mutt. She was a pest, to be honest. When we left our yard, that dog was likely to be hanging around somewhere close, and she had the audacity to bark at us. We were inhabiting our own space, as we had every right to do, but she would bark at us, anyway. Not daring to voice her distrust of us up close and personal, she Quote
behle Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 What a marvelous difference you have made in Sasha's life! A fantastic tale of rescue and caring. You deserve lots of :klacz: :klacz: :klacz: ! I am sure you are richly rewarded by Sasha herself! She is a beautiful girl now! :angel: Quote
marion Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 What a lovely heartwarming story, :lol: thanks for sharing that with us. And the difference between Sasha then and now is remarkable, she's beautiful. :lol: Just goes to show what a lot of love and patience can do. You are angels. :angel: Quote

Lucky Chaos Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 What a touching story. She look georgous now, what a difference. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 What a touching story! The thing that touched me the most (next to you wonderful heartful people who adopted that shaggy shepherd! :D :angel: ) was that there was a line up early that morning for those dogs who were "unadoptable". It's very nice to know there are people out there who will save those "unadoptable" dogs! Bless you! :angel: Quote
Aonir Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 That is a great story! You're such an angel! Quote
abker17 Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 :klacz: :klacz: What a touching story! :D Thanks for sharing it with us! Good for u for rescuing her! :angel: Quote
Guest Mutts4Me Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 :P I know that a lot of people on Dogo actually have rescue dogs, and I know everyone has their own story. It just seems that so many of the stories posted here are very sad. They're sad for a reason, but after reading "The Longest Walk," I just HAD to tell a story with a happy ending (or two happy endings!) for a change of pace, and Sasha provided me with that. So combine Sasha's story with my love of writing, and there we go. I appreciate all the comments. As someone suggested, we do consider ourselves rewarded tenfold by this dog. She's awesome, and she's given us 6 happy years so far. Actually the big difference between the "then" and "now" pictures is age. We think Sas was about a year, give or take, when we took her in, and now she's a mature adult, with a (very) full coat. Quote
bk_blue Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 What a beautiful story. You are an angel! :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel: Quote
imported_Cassie Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 How nice for Sasha...what a wonderful turn of events for Sasha. I have found my dogs which have had the roughest start to life have been my most dedicated pets. They really seem to appreciate their new home. Quote
ellieangel Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Good for you for standing by her she has rewarded you tenfold and will continue to do so I'm sure :wink: She is a beautiful dog and a credit to your loving care :) Quote
Malamum Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Thanks for sharing your happy ending. It's nice to know they do happen. Quote
