Oh my! What a beautiful girl you are Abby and that is such an awesome picture. I feel like I just can't go on enough about the way you look. That coat of yours is just so striking, so eye catching. I'm so glad your fur-parent decided to take you in. It sounds like you have a fabulous home with lots of love and that you return that love every day. I'm so glad that I got to see you this morning.

Congrats Abby!! Enjoy your special day.

Abby...You are so beautiful. I just love your hair with all those colors in it. I bet you are a sweet baby. I would love to give you a hug but since I can't your mom can give you one for me. I love dogs. I have 5. Congratulations on dog of the day. Have a wonderful life.:) :) :)

Abby, whatever breed combination you are, all I can say is that it is a lovely mix. Most of all I love your heart and soul and I will say a special prayer of gratitude today that your mom met you and fell in love. The very thought of you being lost to this world is more than my heart could bear.

Abby (I love your name too), I just want you to know what a perfect Dog of the Day you are. Thanks so much to your Mom for sharing you with us today. I know everyone must be so proud of their Abby.

Abby , there's NOT one thing in the world ugly about you.
I think you a beautiful perfect looking little girl with a big heart.
Speaking of the breed the way you are described , I believe you may have some golden retriever , lab and some english setter in you.
Thanks for letting your picture be taken and put in dog of the day. You deserve it 100% !!!!!!!!!! Congratulations !!!!!!! :) :) :)

Dear Abby:

I think you are absolutely gorgeous! Anyone can dress in perfect clothes that society considers to be fashionable, but those who stand out from the crowd wear clothes that are unique and individual! Your "clothes" are just beautiful, as is your personality. Your gentle soul shines through, and I'm so glad to know you are destined for a long, very happy life! You deserve it!

Dot :-)

WOW Abby! You are so beautiful! I totally understand why your mom just had to take you home that day, I don't think I could have let you be put to sleep either. I'm so glad that you got a second chance on life and I'm sure you are too:)

I hope you enjoy this day, because you are our awesome Dog of the Day!:D

Abby has a gorgeous face and such a pretty coat -- clearly, she's been a joy to her family! Another example of why rescue is so important! :)

Dear, sweet Abby! How anyone could fail to recognize you for the great beauty that you are is beyond me!!! But your human had no trouble seeing what others could or would not, that here for the taking was one very special pup, uniquely stunning among all others, both inside and out!:) Thank goodness your guardian angel was there to save you from an unspeakable fate; I shudder at the very thought of it!

Like every prized diamond, all it takes is a little spit and polish, care and nurturing to uncover the gem that sparkles within! Many thanks to your wonderful Mom/Dad for giving you that chance to shine, shine, shine!:) What a blessing you have been to her/him and all who cross your path!

After reading your inspirational bio., I hope that others will be motivated to go the rescue route...how great their rewards will be! Congratulations to you BEAUTIFUL Abby, our very special, most deserving Sunday Dog of the Day!:) I hope that you and your fursibs, your loving guardian and many adoring fans (especially the kids:D) have a wonderful day celebrating your day on center stage! Hugs and kisses to you sweet Abby girl!:)

We have to agree with everyone else that has posted before us. You are such a verrrrrrrrrrry pretty girl. You look like a movie star in that picture!! We too have said a thank you prayer for your family for saving you from the unspeakable. What a very special girl you are. How could anyone find you unattractive we'll never know. Oh well. It was clearly their loss. Too bad for them. In the end, it is you and your family that are victorious. Yay for all of you!! Enjoy your day today celebrating and loving life sweet girl!! Happiness always to you and your fantastic family!!:D :D :D :D

Love, Daisy and Delilah in Sunny Florida:cool: :cool:

What a most pretty girl you are Abby! You look so awesome against the backdrop of your woods - such a happy dog! Congrats to AWESOME ABBY!!! :):D :)

[Ginger's Mom]

Oh Abby, what a pretty girl you are. And what a great picture of you. I am so glad that you found someone so special who would make you a part of what is obviously a large and loving family. I hope you enjoy your special day. :)

[AvaJoy]

What a special story you have to tell, Abby, and blessings to your guardian for saving you at the last moment. If others thought of you as an ugly duckling pup, you certainly have proven them wrong now, dear. You are a stunner, with a personality to match! :)

[K9soul]

Precious Abby, I simply cannot imagine anyone thinking you ugly or undesirable. Thank goodness you had a human guardian angel to look after you and take you in, or I hate to imagine what the outcome might have been :(. You may have been shunned and rejected by a lot of people in those early days, but you certainly did not make that your own attitude. You joyfully love and give of yourself to everyone who crosses your path. You are certainly one truly special pup so full of inner beauty, and in my opinion outer beauty as well! :) You ended up with a person who sees you for all that you are, a true masterpiece in body and soul. Today we are all honored to get to meet you from afar, see your very gentle and loving heart, so beautifuly described by your beloved human. I hope you have an especially fun-filled day today Abby, with lots of treats and plenty of praise and affection. Congratulations on being our most deserving and special Dog of the Day!

Hey beautiful Abby!

Reading your little bio, was so heart touching, I'm glad you found such a great home and I'm sure you're an adorable, sweet, loyal and intelligent doggy that is irresistible not to love. Congrats on being DOTD, have a wonderful day sweet angel and live a good,long happy life. Your mummy should be very proud- convince her to celebrate and give you some nice and yummy treats!:D Buddy says hi ( he's my doggie) and I'm sure he would love to play with you someday. Maybe someday...

For now be happy and have tons and tons of fun!!:D

Abby, you are no mere mutt. You are definitely Catahoula leopard dog, not Aussie. The head that is too large for the body is breed standard. I bet you have webbed feet and can outrun and outmanuver any dog you meet, even in mud where other dogs slip and slide.

Catahoulas were bred to work in the swamps of Louisiana. Look up "patchwork Catahoula" in Google and you will see some dogs who look just like you. And they are highly prized as beautiful specimens of the Catahoula breed.
