Happy Ending Story for Hunter
We lost our 16-year-old red & white male, Congo, in April
2009. Our 6 ½-year-old tri-colored female, Bandit, went into a deep
depression. Even constant trips to the river brought little happiness to her
life. She moped around and we worried she could die of a broken heart.
 I
immediately signed up to adopt from BRAT. To my surprise, I got a call less
than 2 months later saying a young male was available and was I still
interested. Luckily for us, the person who usually fosters was on vacation
and could I take him now?
Jake came to us on May 31st. Bandit snarked and was a
little put out at first but I told her that now she knows how Congo felt
when we brought her home to live with us!!! His previous owner had 2
big dogs and Hunter wrestles with Bandit like he is a big dog. Bandit has
had to put him in his place but he is learning to be sweet with her. As you
can see from the picture, he loves to sleep with his head on her!
 We
changed Jake's name to Hunter because he didn't even know his name and was
not a Jake anyways.
We had to get Hunter a bright red collar so we could tell
them apart. They are almost twins! We aren't sure if Bandit is big for a
female or if Hunter is small for a male. Maybe, a little of both.
Megan, our BRAT volunteer, said she thinks he knew he was
home when they pulled in our driveway. He came to us at a time when we all
needed him as much as he needed us. He is the sweetest little pup who just
wanted love and attention, and he has found it in his forever home.
