If you immediately conjured up images of the 70's-80's heavy metal band, you're obviously caught up in the retro revolution. These sisters have a different kind of twist in that they were dumped nearly a year apart in the same area.

Coral (right) came to Fredonia Humane Society with five other dogs abandoned along a desolate stretch of desert highway; within days all were taken into other rescues while Coral, a mere 5 months old, stayed behind to work her way through parvo. Once recovered, she became FHS's self-appointed, equal opportunity play pal to every single dog who came through the gate.

Java was picked up a year later after being reported hanging around a residential area not far from Coral's dump site. After being placed in a "newcomer's" run at the opposite end of where Coral lived, every regular volunteer that day asked why we moved Coral over to the newbie's side, convincing us we weren't the only ones to see this uncanny resemblance. Not only are the girls' markings, body type, head, height and topaz eyes identical, but they both do this distinctive trill when excited. Today they live in the same indoor/outdoor run so happy to be together once again.
