I saw a lot of heartbreaking resuce stories on here so I thought I would post one of the other kind.
My wife and I have wanted a puppy for the longest time but waited until we had a house with a decent sized yard.
Once we had it we went to our friend who runs the local lab rescue. She showed us a few that she had and we had a wonderful day playing with a herd of giant grinning clowns and told us about a yellow lab who was suffering from kennel depression at the local pound.
We went there and fell in love. She was 7months old and had a cute short nose.
She also had been there for 3 weeks.
Gully was claimed by 3 sets of people that day and someone else got her :(
Within a week they had brought back and we told them that we wanted her no arguments.
Never have I seen a dog so full of life.
I had her retreiving while still at the pound and she is great with kids even teeny tiny babies. She is good with the cats and follows us everywhere. She always wants to play and is a natural for pictures.
She is so happy to see us come home that she doesnt know which way to wag her tail :)
And of course she is the cutest puppy in the world. I can't imagine why 2 families gave her up. Must be a dumb gene or something.
She is surprisingly good at catching balls and enjoys training for obedience school. She always wants to go for car rides or walks :)
She is being crate trained now but we are in the process of making her a chew proof room :D
P.S. She loves everyone except the recycleman
