Dude wandered onto my porch sun-burned and exhausted from living all 6 months of his little life on his own. The local shelter picked him up but I couldn't stop thinking that he chose my porch for a reason. I called the shelter to ask about him just in time. They had deemed him unadoptable due to his health from living on the streets and were about to put him down. I begged them to stop and I picked him up the next day where he has been a great addition to our family ever since.
Some people say he was lucky to find my porch that day but I think that I was the lucky one. Dude was anything but unadoptable, he is a survivor. He wakes me every morning with a kiss and cuddles with me every night. He is the most loving and gentle dog and I couldn't imagine my life without him.
