I am also a dog lover. After having cats for 35 years, my son brought home a dog. Half Pittie and half Bully. Koa is the best boy ever and I'm never going to be without a dog. He was 7 weeks old when we got him from a friend, however, next dog will be a shelter dog. I love the idea of rescuing a dog from a shelter. They are so loving and appreciative. Thanks for sharing your lovely story.
