Here's a picture of my 2 grand dogs, the Black Lab is Samson and the little guy peeking along side his brother is Lucky the vet thinks is a Lab/Australian Cattle Dog Mix.
My daughter Kelly and son-in-law Brian took both in off the streets of Kentucky literaly in 2008, where they are living for now while Brian is earning his Doctorate at the University of KY in Lexington.
Samson was found by my daughters co-worker when he came up to his dogs one day at his home. Kelly had mentioned to her co-workers she wanted to adopt a black lab eventually so he told Kelly about him and she called Brian, they went to see him, they looked for an owner but didn't find one, so they took him in. He had marks on his neck, very fearful and still is somewhat and didn't like Brian or men in general at first, so he may have been abused. But now he is a much happier dog, and he's his daddys buddy.
Lucky was found wondering around the Middle School where my daughter was teaching, for several days she would see him eating gum off the sidewalk so my daughter felt bad and took him to a shelter so he could get food, water, shelter and maybe get adopted by someone. The shelter told her that they could only keep him for so many days and then he'd be euthanized, so Kelly wasn't going to let that happen so again called Brian and they took him in also.
Now they are both loved and cared for and have given a lot of unconditional love right back now that they have both found their forever home!!!!!
