My husband teaches at the American University in Bulgaria and in July 1997 I went over to explore Bulgaria and some of the neighboring areas. While visiting Macedonia, I found this pathetic, starving, ringworm infested puppy sleeping under a parked car. My husband & I adopted her and began the process of bringing her to the US . Twelve years later, she's happily entrenched in her SC home -- along with a canine sister & 7 feline siblings. She's perfected English and is my American Girl.
