That dog looks so much like our little rescue, who was found all matted and filthy like that dog was. When we got her, she was shaved down like that as the only way to get her clean. That was VERY close to home.

Ours is fat and happy now.

I hope Edie is, too.

What a very special video. Thanks for posting it.
