I applaude you for rescuing Backdraft. He sounds like one very loved and taken care of pup. My husband and I rescued a 3 month old Great Dane and a 2-4 year old Aussie from our local shelter in November, just to think that they may have been put down just makes me depressed because they are awesome dogs. Our other 2 are rescues too, so I guess rescue is now in our blood. Good luck with Backdraft and keep us up to date. You will be rewarded many times over for your good deed...I know that my husband and I are rewarded everyday!
