Thelma, that must have been horrible for you to have your baby shot. Is that why you don't have a dog now?
I guess if I was to get another dog I would look through the rescues and probably if they had one a Standard or Giant Schnauzer and if not I would look for a Standard Poodle and most probably they would not have any of these in rescue so I would look for the first dog in rescue that said come take me home with it's eyes.
