Dearest Rusty, you are precious beyond words indeed! I'm so glad you found such a wonderful person and home after being so cruelly abandoned when you were quite young. I give great thanks to your rescuers and then your dear person who gave you the love and care and training you needed so badly.

Over time and with a lot of hard work with your person, you became the joyful, trusting, loving fellow you are now and always were deep inside. A few years later, he/she was in a bad accident, and you were with her/him all along through the recovery process. Now you visit people in an assisted living facility with him/her, bringing the residents great love and joy and calmness. You and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Rusty, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
