" I wonder why some people commit to a dog then commit him/her to a life of lonliness.. all I can say is what goes around comes around.... "

I agree totally! Butch you are the sweetest dog. And you ARE much deserving of DOTD. I am so glad that after starting out in life so rough, that you now have a wonderful, loving family. You can see it in your face...... you are one happy boy! Congratulations!!! Enjoy your day and your happy life. Don't let the storms scare you... you are safe now. I'd give you a big kiss on your little black nose.
