Somehow I knew you'd have this thread up already Julie:D.

Holly, you're magnificant! I'm glad someone very loving gave you such a wonderful home because you really deserve it. Congrats on being DOTD!:D

HOLLLY....

My heart has been stolen! You are so beautiful and I am glad you are getting a chance at a wonderful life! Congratulations for being such a sweet DOTD!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day and many many more years to put smiles on many more faces!:)

[Logan]

Well, my heart has been stolen, too, Holly! What a beautiful girl you are! We don't see many Collies around here, and it is a pleasure to meet you and read your story. What a turnaround for you, and you didn't disappoint anyone!!! All you needed was that love and concern and you blossomed!! Have to admit that I got a little teary eyed, reading your story, but I'm so glad you are in a wonderful home, with great people and other dog friends around!

Congratulations to you, Holly, on being a terrific Dog of the Day!!! :D

I'm sitting here wiping away my tears after reading your story, and what a story it is!
You and your human are so lucky to have found each other. I'm sure you know this and that's why you have been such a terrific girl:)
You sound like the perfect collie, and I'm sure you are.
I wish you many more wonderful years together with your beloved human!
Have a great day Holly!

Oh, Holly! So early in your day and look how many of us have already come under your spell. You are one remarkable and very, very special dog. There are tears streaming down my face for those *lost years* you had to endure. I also have tears of joy that at long last you are with someone who can appreciate the many wonderous attributes you possess. Holly you are just the perfect dog. No wonder people all over the world will honor you and fall in love with you today. I'm blessed for having met you.

[Rocky Budgeboa]

I second that :)

[AprilFox]

Your story has touched my heart as Im sure a lot of others here. You look so regal and happy that Im glad you were given the chance at happiness in your life. Im still choked up and so angry that there are people so cruel as to hurt any loving animal. Congrats on being DOTD! Your soul shines through your eyes. ;)

[sasha the cat]

My KatMa is still crying, dear precious Holly because reading of your life before your doggieMom found you has shredded KatMa's heart. What must we do to convince legislators to enact strong animal protection laws in Canada, United States & elsewhere? Puppy/Kitten mill operators are derelicts whom my KatMa defines as evil incarnate -- not fit to live.

Precious Holly, have a wonderful day celebrating with your fursons and all the other pets today. KatMa wants your furson recognized and honoured for being five-star -- which is how decent humans strive to be. You are so beautiful and KatMa just loves the pictures of you. If only her hands could reach through the 'puter screen so she could pet you, beautiful, precious dog!

To the most precious and smartest dog we send our love, hugs, kisses, purrs, mews. You have stolen both our hearts. Our admiration and respect for your furson has been earned because, as a breeder, her standard is Excellence: Mew-mew, as I say, FourPaws.

FourPaws for your doggieMom: http://www.oh-no.com/4_paws.gif

Hollie, I haven't been posting to anyone lately but I'm glad to be back and read your story! I'm so happy you were saved from those evil, greedy breeders! Lucky for you, there are some wonderful people in this world that love animals for what they are and not how much money they can make them. May you live long and have many happy days!

Two hearts of pure gold - yours Holly, and your human's.

I imagine that the first day you spent with your new person must have amazed you.

To find that you are in good health, have had a refreshing bath and then to discover that you have acres to roam must have been something.

The ONLY good thing about your previous owner is that they had the sense to give you away.

You have touched every heart here today.

[ParNone]

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Collies, so I
was ecstatic to see your beautiful face staring back at me,
when I clicked on the website this morning. I couldn't wait
to read your story. I was moved to tears and as your
story unfolded, I had no doubt you would be a most special
girl. I could see it in your eyes, that wonderful Collie sweetness
comes shining through. My Smooth Collie, Oz, said to tell
you, "You done us Collies proud! and give your mom a special
Collie Nose Nudge for being so terrific too!".:)

:D What a beautiful dog, with a beautiful story. She sounds like she now has a great life with loving "parents", and she can run and play and live the life she should have always had. Congratulations on being Dog of the Day.... you are very deserving of this. This story made my day. Tailwags from my boys who agree with me. :)

[tatsxxx11]

I can barely type for the tears; tears of saddness but also tears of indescribable joy that such a DESERVING canine has been given a chance to enjoy all of the beauty and happiness that life has to offer!! To say you are an inspiration to us all would not do you justice, beautiful, brave Holly. And bless your dear, dear guardian for making Holly's second leash on life a reality! Your indefatigable spirit leaves me speechless, Holly. Oh, here I go again, tearing up at the sight of you happily prancing about your acerage, tending to your little furry charges and all the while "looking back" with gratitude and love at your rescuer, your saviour, your MOM!!! And just like that famous, beloved Collie, Lassie, a rescuer as well! Holly, I hope and pray that you and your big, beautiful family, furry and human, share many, many more happy, safe, loving, carefree years together. It was an honor to have met you Holly. You have left your pawprints on my heart; forever:) Congratulations to you dear Holly, Dog of the Day! You are that and oh, so, so much more!!! Love and hugs to you beautiful Holly. And blessings to your wonderful family!

[Albea]

Beautiful Holly, your story has brought tears to many eyes today. Congratulations on this most deserved title of Dog of the Day. May life grant you many more years of health and joy with your loving family. Many hugs and kisses from us to you.

[judymin61]

Hi Holly,
So pleased to meet you! You are lovely. I am so glad you have found happiness in your life. How wonderful that you got rescued from that horrible puppy mill. Humans can be unbelievably cruel:mad: :( Congratulations on your special day! My Uncle had a collie a sweeter dog you could not have found!

[QueenVee]

Oh, dearest Holly, it was with tears in my eyes and pain in my heart that I read about your unfortunate past. What a brave, noble, and genteel lady you are -- so deserving of the kind and loving home that you have now. How blessed you are to have your current family, and how blessed they are to have you. And how stunningly beautiful you are with your graceful, long face and lovely tresses. Looking at your picture and reading about you has truly made my day.

[huskylab]

Sweet dear Holly!!!! My what a story you have and it sounds as if you took everything in stride from the very beginning. I am very impressed with you, and my goodness, your parents are sweethearts too!!!!! I am so glad everything turned out perfectly for all!!!! What a nice story to read after a hard days work-the best to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KYS]

OK! I should have been warned this
story needed tissue. I hate crying!!!
Holly your story was so beautiful.
Such a wonderful dog with a super personality,
who did not lead a proper life till your 2nd owners came.
Congratulations! Well deserved.

[PerfectPets]

Holly, you are a very special girl and still look quite regal for your age!!! I just rescued a sable and white collie last week!
Rescues are the Best!! Congratulations on Winning Dog of the Day!! You deserve it!!!

[WileysMom]

B-E-Autiful!!!
:D :D :D :D :D

[lizbud]

Hello Holly,

It is a pleasure to have met you today & read your story.
You are not only a beautiful creature, but the embodiment
of all the finest qualities of that gift from the Creator, the Dog.
I am so happy to know that you were found (rescued really)
and given the life & love that you so richly deserve. Many happy
congratulations & hugs to you sweetheart on this special day
of honor as our DOG OF THE DAY.

p.s. I think your people are pretty Special too.:)

[K9karen]

Holly, I too was so touched by your story. I am also a firm believer that things really do happen for a reason! It was truly meant to be that you were rescued from hell and adopted into such a beautiful, loving, human/furry family that will never ever hurt you or let you leave! You are already a savior. I hope and pray that you are forever healthy and happy and smothered with hugs and kisses all day long! Thank God for people like your humans. They are angels on earth.

[AvaJoy]

Wow . . . you look exactly like the collie I grew up with . . . her name was Pacquita. Such wonderful memories I have of her; she was very tolerant and forgiving when I would reach out from my high chair (a zillion years ago!) and pull her fur. Such a lovely story with a happy ending for you, dear Holly. I have always hoped to someday have another collie. Belated congratulations on being such a wonderful DOTD!:)
