Standby For Rescue
It started about two weeks ago when ‘you know who’ started looking at dog pictures on FaceBook.
At the middle of the first week I was shown pictures of dogs on FB – three times a day.
Then instead of pictures of dogs – it was a picture of a dog!
By the beginning of the second week the investigation got more detailed and accurate.
Then I barely heard part of a telephone conversation:
“. . .looking for an older couple for an older dog. . .his name is Rocky!”
Then ‘you know who’ suddenly says:
“What a beautiful day. We should go for a drive. Can we go to Pictou to see that little dog? Just to see what he’s really like.”
An hour and a half later we are at the Pictou SPCA. Staff brings out this little guy and says:
“He’s a rescue, probably not treated very good, doesn’t like other dogs - the last owner brought him in because he nipped at the kids. He needs to go to an older couple with no kids.”
Well he went to ‘you know who’ for several minutes happy as can be, tail wagging, looking for pats with all the excitement a pet can show.
Then quick as lightning he turned, jumped up on my lap, and curled up in a tight snuggle as much as to say, “That’s it, lets go!”
Well you know where he is now. He is 13 years old. That old dog has an old couple.
So far he has met a lot of people, including kids. And so far not a bit of aggression has been shown.
Rocky definitely has a furever home.
I’m just wondering – who rescued who?
