Just a guy and his dog.

in #dog7 years ago

Hi all! My name is Eric and this is my best friend OttO. He found us in 2014 on fourth of July weekend. He wandered into the garage where I was working and sat on my foot. My family and I put ads out for anyone missing a dog but no one came forward. I wondered right away how ANYONE could lose him , I never put him on a leash and he stays within eyesight always. We also found his left front paw had melted plastic in between the pads of his feet 😠. Poor little dude! We slowly cut the melted green plastic out as his hair grew. Within one month of OttO coming into our lives my wife's anxiety started getting the best of her, making it impossible for her to work anymore. OttO came into our lives at the right time. He needed a loving family, and we needed someone for my wife to be with while I was working , shopping ect. Now, 3 years later, I can't imagine my life without him! We go for walks everyday and I have a hard time going anywhere without him, he is without a doubt the smartest dog I've ever owned. He can learn any trick you can think of as well as he will stay in a car with Windows down while I go in store. You can see in his eyes and face the love he has for his family. He was and is such a perfect fit to our family I have a hard time believing it was chance that brought us to gather... It was meant to be. 😃

This is why I get sad when I see so many pets in shelters. I'd never go to a breeder to get a dog. My black lab is my best friend. Albeit he is hyper as all hell, when I am feeling down hes always by my side.

Now just think this dog was a stray, no one wanted him. His owners who got him from the shelter didn't give a damn to train him. He had horrible skin allergies and instead of changing his diet they fed him full of pills from the vet. I adopted him from his crappy owners and we have been best friends since! :)
