I'll do Rusty... because he is my only dog.


When I was about 8 or 9 years old I got Rusty. He lived a few streets over... his orignal owners didn't really want him, I guess they got "sick" of him so when they moved his came with their house. Well the next people didn't really want him so they just put a dog house outside for him and gave him food. He would come around every few day say "hi" to my brother and I then leave. Once when he came around my mom gave him a hamburger and after that he keep coming back wanting more and more good people food. When we went away on vacation we left a giant bowl of food out for him in case he stayed around my house while we were gone, when we came back we didn't see him but by the time we got out of the car he came running from around back. He most likly stayed at our house waiting the four days we were gone. He would "sleep" on my moms chair because late at night when my mom went ourt for a smoke he'd be laying there. Well one day the dog warrten came around and stopped at our house and said why are you letting your dog roam around the neightborhood? My mom said hes not our dog but he comes around and we give him food. The lady said wait I know how this is its Rusty Johnston, Do you want him I'll ask the owners if you can. So my dad said sure we'll take him. Well sometime that day she called the house and said he was ours now. Hes about 7 years old, because the neightboors had said they'd pick him up when he was a puppy, and bring him home. (and they said 3 years ago he was a puppy... to that time) We also heard lots of storys about him.. once my mom was at the bank and saw him in the back of the car and said hi rusty... and she said once she had a guy coming in workin in her house and he had left the door opened and when she walked in her kitchen he was laying on the floor. We also have heard the teenagers would give him drugs (lsd,etc.) to laugh at him when he was all out of it. And we think he may have been shot with a bb gun.


I love Rusty soo much. I don't know what I would do without him, he had gave me scares in life and very fun times. He is the best dog ever thought he is scared of alot of thing. Overall He is BEST dog in the whole wide world. We don't know his real birthday, but his got cha day is Octomber 23
