Great looking dog. Nothing like the critters in my mind. Dear wife in Africa.

In the third picture he's already looking at you with adoration in his eyes. I think both of you got lucky. Good on you.

That dog just hit the lotto... Good for the both of you.. My neighbor fosters dogs and posts the pics on Facebook.. THEN she will post R.I.P. when the dog is not adopted and killed.. That rips my hart out.. The people that work the Shelters MUST be hard harted because they kill dogs and cats all the time.. I could never do it!!

What a great looking dog!
Mrs. Tide's dog passed a couple of months ago, and when she was ready to look for another one, we went to the pound.
It is amazing the way people and dogs "pick" each other.

More and more I think of that as a selfish and heartless practice when there are so many dogs that need a home. The only exception would be if one needs a dog of a particular breed, and needs the best bred of that breed for a particular characteristic. For a pet, though, it's just heartless to seek out a breeder when there are so many dogs desperate for a home. Cats, too. I just don't think in those terms because I'm allergic to their dander. Great pets, though, if you're not allergic. They have their own unique appeal distinct from dogs.

Must be some thing of the season. We too adopted a dog this week from the Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue. None of their dogs are pure bred, but in need of a good home. Since our Blue Heeler past away last spring, we have been looking for a good heeler pup to replace her, but that has been a hard task. There just are not that many around. So we decided to get a more mature dog so that when we did find a pup, it would have a mate and possibly help in training. So this is Baylee, she is 2-3 years old, and probably a lab/pointer mix, or maybe just a lab and All American Fence Jumper mix. Whatever, she is as sweet as can be, house broken, and has all the basic commands down. She readily adopted my wife, but at times she shows a little distrust of me. She was probably slapped around some and definitely had a lack of food. Baylee came out of MO. and had foster mom take care of her for about three weeks, so has had few owners until we got her. She now has a permanent home with us and might even make good bird dog. She has taken to the couch and our bed quite well.
