I will also admit when I first saw that thread I thought it was a scam until I saw Karen's post, which was the only reply at the time.
That is exactly what I thought and WHY I didn't respond right away. ONLY when they posted the vets information did I believe it might be legit. First post, asking for donations? (you could post any phone number and have someone waiting to take your money so I still wasn't convinced) I was even thinking about driving down there to see the dog (just didn't want to go by myself) just to verify in my mind that the story was real..

I was already hooked when I found out who Kev68 was..and the HE was the witness. Then I was blown away!
