A nice foster update

Some of you may remember Kira. She was a foster dog I had a couple years ago. She came to me a half-starved scrawny little waif with separation anxiety.

I adored her. I still do. After about six months with us, Kira picked her new owner, a friend of my hubby's. Cam is an odd duck, a nice guy, but a bit of a hermit who just doesn't fit into modern society very well. He was over for dinner one night and Kira crawled into his lap and made herself at home. She wasn't a great match for us. She was not meant to be a working dog. She was the hardest foster I've ever let go; I cried for days when she left, but she had made it clear that she wanted to be with Cam. We saw her regularly until Cam moved down south over a year ago.

Christmas day Cam called us out of the blue. He was calling not say Merry Christmas, but to say thanks for Kira. Not only has she become his best friend, helped him cope with loss of his other dog, but she recently saved him from a bear! She even made the local paper for her bravery and devotion to her owner. Both Kira and Cam escaped uninjured.

Plus they are coming to visit in the spring!

What a wonderful story! I'm so glad they're both okay. Way to go Kira!!

LES good for Kira and Cam

What a great story! I bet you're excited about their visit! :D

Some matches are just meant to be. This one sounds like it has worked out great for them both.

Oh, awesome! What a great story, and, so cool of him to call you and let you know that he and Kira are best friends, now! She's beautiful...

What a wonderful story! She is so beautiful. It's good to hear she has found her soul mate :)

That's really neat! How amazing, really. I'm glad they found each other! :)

Thats awesome. It really shows that those two were meant to be together!

Wow, that's a great thing you did. And Kira is a very brave girl!! It is just amazing what dogs can do for us.

I'm glad you get to see her in spring! :D Post some pics? ;)

First of all, Kira is beautiful!! What a great story, I'm sure you're excited for the visit!

Way to go Glacier! You should be proud!!!

That is a wonderful story, and she really is a pretty girl. :) See what wonderful things you make happen up there. I can't wait until Kira comes to visit.

That is so cool. It just reinforces that she fits with him and although you miss her she is doing well with Cam and they are a perfect match.

What a great story to remind us all just how much our pets do for us. Thanks for sharing Glacier. She's just gorgeous! :)

Wow! What a story...dog saves man from Bear!
It's wonderful that your friend let you know about what happened and how much he loves her (or should I say they love each other:)).

And how nice that they'll be coming to visit:D

What a great story! Sounds like a good job picking a new parent!! :) I'm glad Kira is doing well!

Oh how wonderful!!!

So glad they are coming to visit .... :D

This must really warm your heart, Glacier! I'll bet you are so proud of her! Now we'll look forward to seeing pictures of this amazing girl in the spring. ;)
