I had a client, Bev come into my office today and told me a story that made me so mad. Bev said her and her husband were coming home from thier daughters house and were on a long stretch of road with woods on both sides. They saw a truck pull over in front of them. They slowed down to see what was going on. The truck took off and standing in the middle of the road was a frightened dog. The dog would not move. Upcoming traffic all stopped. Bev is pretty sure the truck dumped the dog off before it fled. She was able to get the dog into her car. The dog has been abused and is malnourished. She has cuts across her back and cigarette burns on her paws. Bev said even though she looked bigger she still has her puppy teeth. Bev and her husband call her Skinny. (Thier two year old grandson named her.) She is white with brown ears, brown patches and brown on her tail. Bev said she looks like a hunting dog but she is not sure. She said her nose was white at first but now has turned pink this morning and she is beginning to eat really good. Her cuts are healing nicely. She was going to try and find a home for her but Skinny is going to need alot of rehabilitation. Bev said it appears that Skinny was not brought indoors much and is afraid of everything. When you go to pet Skinny she cowers and tries to hide. She said she was putting a shoe away and Skinny took off into a corner wimpering. Bev said that her and her husband have decided to keep her to be sure she has a safe home. God Bless Bev and her husband for caring and taking Skinny in. I know that Skinny will have a loving home and has two playmates. Miraculously Bev's two dogs that she took in as strays years ago have adopted Skinny and watch over her as if protecting her she said. Bev is taking Skinny to the vets on Monday for a full examination.This has been a special holiday season for me first there was Toby who was an abused kitty and now Skinny. They will both go from a horrid past to a loving future. Thank you God for watching over them and giving them second chances.
