He was dumped by a big-name musher, along with four other dogs. Our shelter doesnt' normally take working dogs (or we'd always be full of nothing but sled dogs), but somehow this guy got them in. One of the musher's handlers came and got the other three, but that was all she could take in. Preacher was the oldest-he was seven at least. The rest were yearlings, all littermates. Preacher and Franklin had to stay together and not many people want a dog like Franklin. He's extremely timid--or was, he's much braver now. We agreed to foster them after they had been in the shelter for a year, January 29, 2001. Preacher was extremely depressed and stopped eating. We adopted them six months later. They were our first fosters and our first time failing fostering 101! I boo their former musher every chance I get!
