My "Little Men"

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Dog
I have 3 dogs ....  Little Bear is my odl man....  he isa choco lab/pit bull mix and has 3 good legs.  He is a real sweetheart.  His face is showing his age now, but he still plays like hes just a pup...  Maxx is my teenager...lol  Only without the attitude...ha ha  He is a great pyrenese/border collie mix...  I was outside at my moms on a busy street when we saw a car door fly open and a man push him out of his car....  He tumbled into the street and ran for the fields and the forest...  It was days b4 we saw him again..  He was a waif...mated fur..bloody and near death...  He is now the sweetest, most polite ..calm..well mannered dog I ahve ever seen...  To his day I have no idea why they did that to him...  And finally there is Street....  The day I found out I was really sick I saw a car swerve in front of me...  I saw a lil black lump in the road and then I saw it move...just barely.  I got out of my car and his lil tail mustered up a wag....  he looked at me with the saddest eyes...  So I ran to my car and got a pillowcase...  I picked him up and he was scaly feeling..  Well, the scales were thousands..literally, of ticks...  I took him to my vet and she said he will either make it or he won't.....  That after noon she called for "puppy doe" and out walked a lil tan and white pup that was extremely happy to see me...  i was like..umm..this is not my pup....  And she was like..he was covered in ash and ticks...  he had to be bathed 4 times and dipped once to get him clean....  Then 2 vet techs spent 4 hours picking the remaing 800 ticks that didnt fall off out of him....  The paws and pads were spread so far out that she was afraid he might be lame from it.  His ears were infested and the ticks were even in his rectum....  he was covered in scars and scratches and was just getting his back teeth in, so he was still very young...  He has been a challenge...  But I think the outcome will be wonderful...  I have pictures of my boys on my profile(little bear is a bit camera shy...so no pics yet..)...

I came close to tears reading this story. Bless you for being an animal lover. I am so saddened that human beings would be so cruel to helpless and loving pets. I hope you are blessed fully for your compassion to animals. They are very luck dogs to have felling in your path. I'm sure God had a hand in it. He knew you had a big heart to help these precious animals. I truly admire you. Give all your babies a big hug from another animal lover.
