Hello Star, it's a pleasure to meet you. What a beautiful sweet pup you are! You sure look good to me; you're special. You remind me of my Annie dog who I think is part lab/retriever. Somebody threw her away and she came to our house and she is a great dog. Back to you, it's wonderful that your human saved you and in a way you're saving her lots of wear and tear on her back because you fetch things she needs. As for the original owner who was going to kill you, he is cruel. No doubt you will become an excellent therapy dog and many people will benefit from your talents. I hope you have a long happy healthy life with your family. Congrats on being DOTD!
