This dog showed up on my property right after Thanksgiving. She had a collar with no information that was about 3 holes too tight. I had to cut it off with tin snips because I couldn't get my fingers under it.. Week 1 and 2: Posted "found dog" all over the interwebs, local vets, animal control, shelters, yadda, yadda.... Nothing. Week 3: Your loss is my gain (unless your unit of measure is money). The second my foot crosses the vet's threshold the dog becomes my property. Spent around 300 bucks at the vet - chip scan, ear infections, worms, etc. 96lbs with bones sticking out all over. She had plastic in her stool from raiding garbage to survive. Week 4: Another 600 dollar card swipe - spay, deep clean the ears, microchip, heartworm prevention, bal-bla, bla.... I think this dog is an Anatolian or some mix thereof. She kind of looks like one and she definitely behaves like one. We hit her pretty hard in the beginning with all the worm treatments, flea/tick meds and spay surgery but she's already leveled out at what I think is her fighting weight of 130lbs. Any ideas from the group? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/180698.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/180700.jpg)

The head most certainly looks like it could be Anatolian to me. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/rMmnPcj/AAC405-A4-6062-4-F9-D-A048-B6687-BEE3-EA5.png) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/Gx8qCnC/D60-F10-B3-2424-43-FC-82-C8-2-B979-D6-C667-B.png) scoter crossword

We have an Anatolian. Best, smartest dog I've ever owned. Lilly is about 120 lbs. Got her first snow this week. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/3rjC4XhL/IMG-8890.png)

Definitely a mutt, could be some Anatolian. Gorgeous girl regardless. Looks like a sweetheart. Like a big ass golden retriever.  How old is she? Hair coat?

The loyalty that dog will have to you and yours for saving her life... will be beyond measure.
Congratulations!
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

If you get curious enough you can get her dna ran and find out for sure. I think it’s about $100

We have two Anatolians, and their heads and hair are different from the dog in your picture. Of course, her hair may fill out and improve over time. She certainly could have some Anatolian in her though. Like Danes they tend to be gentle giants. A neighbor's 5 year old pushed his way under our fence, and when my wife saw him he was being escorted around the yard with an Anatolian close on each side. You could just make out the top of his head between them, but he was getting some serious TLC from those dogs.
They are also very protective of our 1 year old granddaughter.

Bottom line, she hit the jackpot. Glad she found a good home.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation
