Hi there adorable Wiley! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart, and to your Daddy and fur sibs Chewie and Chesty, too! What a beautiful family!

I too cannot comprehend the cruelty of some people, supposed animal lovers leaving a defenseless creature to fend for himself in the bitter cold. But blessedly you were found in time, and how lucky you were, Wiley, to have been rescued by such a kind and caring forever family!

I'm so very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your rescuer, your Daddy's partner. But I have to believe it was meant to be, him finding you tied to that lamp post that fateful day, a higher power knowing your Daddy would soon be in need of a little extra furry love. And now his loving spirit lives on in you Wiley; that's a very special legacy! What a blessing you are indeed, Wiley; your Daddy and furry brothers so very lucky to have a furkid, a best buddy, a loving companion, in you!

Thanks to your Daddy for sharing your very touching story with us all. Hoping for you and your family a very special Dog of the Day bash, and many, many more happy, love filled years together! Love and hugs and smoochies to you on your much deserved day of honor, precious Wiley (and to equally precious Chesty and Chewie, too)!
