Hi beautiful Baltasar! Congrats on nabbing the coveted title of Dog of the Day!

I was so touched reading how you came to be named, Baltasar! A gentle, wise "old soul" you are indeed, and your amazing "Christmas miracle" rescue story is truly an inspiration to all us dog lovers! The odds were certainly stacked against you and your furry friends, sweetheart. But thanks to the heroics and determination of your rescuers (BaasGalgo, SAGE, your family), you and your compatriots were saved! You and your family went the "extra mile," literally, in order to make your homecoming a reality, and we're so grateful to your mom and dad for their dedication to rescue, and moved by your courage and indomitable spirit!

How far you've come since that long journey home, Baltasar, adjusting so seamlessly to your wonderful new life! You're even paying forward the compassion shown you through your therapy work! You've already brought so much joy to your humans' lives, and soon so many in need of a big helping of unconditional furry love will be touched by your precious spirit as well!

Thanks to your wonderful family for sharing your most inspirational story, those heart melting pics and video. with us! You're one extra special pup, Baltasar, and all lucky enough to cross your path, truly blessed! Enjoy you big day in the spotlight, sweetheart, and each and every minute of your enchanted life! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Baltasar, our very special and most deserving honoree!
