Oh, pretty girl, what a sad, scary life you had before your rescue! That you were so hungry you ate rocks, and had puppies to provide for it is a miracle you all survived. A pox on those people that abandoned and abused you. We are so glad you were rescued, and your puppies all got home, too. It is wonderful your new forever family saw past your color and looks, as well as you behavior issues straight to your heart, and knew you were the dog for them! And sure enough, some food, love, care and training, and you are now not only shiny and beautiful, but more importantly, healthy and extremely polite! I bet no one ever bother to try to leash train you, or work on manners before, as you took to it so well once you were secure! You are living proof that "big black dogs" can be diamonds in the rough. Keep on shining, Sweet Dee - you are Dog of the Day!
