Otis

Otis
Three days before Otis' Gotcha Day, on December 27, 2007 - sixteen years ago. He came into my life in a dramatic way. A pack of dogs came out from behind a truck and ran in front of my car. Otis was the last one in the pack. I could not stop in time to avoid hitting him. He clearly had a badly broken leg. The folks who had been feeding the dogs said they were strays. They said they didn't have a vet but that they would take care of him. I thought they would shoot him (which I later learned was exactly what they would have done) so I took him to my vet who fixed his leg the next day, That is how at the age of 65, I became a first time dog owner. I could not have asked for a better dog - well behaved from day one, smart as a whip, and just an absolute joy to have. At 16 1/2 years old, he's an old man now, with serious health issues, so more than ever, I am cherishing every day I have with him.

Hope he is still there… I always had rescue dogs, they are the most amazing companions, giving them love, compensating them for what they didn't have is something that fills my soul…
Wishing you both the best.
