Soooo, as I am sure most of you have gathered by now, I am a huge bleeding heart for hard cases and I LOVE animals.
Couple weeks ago the hubby and I were camping down in Ocala Natl Forest, an ATV weekend, and we found this guy, ribs all poking out, bald in places, hip bones ready to pop out of his skin, and me being me, I started feeding him, made a few calls, and ended up homing him with with some people we know. I just couldnt leave him out there starving to death.
He's a pretty interesting fellow, one helluva cooler thief (we thought he was a bear stealing into our cooler.) Very docile, at least he was when starving, trained and overall seems like a great dog. He didnt work out with the folks we homed him with, and since the hubby and I were both taken with him, he's back at our place.
We found his owner, she doesnt want him, lived not far from where he was starving to death, I'm sure theres more to the story, but this is apparently his third home, and we are hoping to keep him so long as he works out. Booger is about 75 pounds or so and gets to around 95 when well fed. This is him visiting me at the office yesterday. How can you resist this face?
This is him guarding our camp...
