What a pretty girl you are, Shanie! No one would ever guess you are a senior dog, with that thick black fur and sweet face! How fortunate your mom saved you that fateful day, and knew, despite how scared and sick you were, that you just needed a chance to not only survive, but become the much loved dog you were always meant to be! We are very glad you were there to save your young boy's life - we know that between the German Shepherd side and the Rottweiler side, that is a role you were born to do! You knew he was in danger each time, and even if it meant biting you mom's hand so she woke up and understood the situation, you did what you had to to make sure he stayed safe! And we are sure he and his sitter have learned lessons they will keep with them their whole lives on how to love a good dog! We hope you still have lots of time left with your family, even though we know dogs never live as long as we want them to. Congratulations Shanie - you are Dog of the Day for the whole world to celebrate!

A warning to my fellow Pet Talkers...break out the tissues before reading! Oh, what a heart wrenching, heart warming, life affirming story is yours, sweet Shanie girl! Talk about a rescue pup repaying the kindness and compassion shown her, talk about paying it forward! Not only have you been the bestest furry friend, family member a pack of humans could ever hope for these past near 15 years, you've been their protector, their hero, their Dog of a Lifetime! There aren't words enough to describe just how special you are, Shanie! God bless your mommy for seeing the diamond in the rough that you were that fateful day at the shelter, giving one most deserving doggie a 2nd chance at a happy life! I can only imagine the strength it took for you to survive you horrific start at life, Shanie, but survive you did, thrive you did, and your family, the world is a better place because you did! You're one beautiful, amazing girl, Shanie, a Dog of a Lifetime!
