Lucky Dog

We got our Great Pyrenees when he was about a year old from a local vet. The veterinarian called us because he had this dog that was brought to his clinic by a woman that rescues dogs from the local pound. She brought the dog to the vet to have his shots and to be neutered and find a good home. That's when we were called to come and look at him. It was St. Patrick's day and when we were introduced we knew he had a new home. It took a while for him to get used to us because he was apparently abused from wherever he was before and very afraid of the men of the family. I DON'T KNOW WHO COULD ABUSE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL.

After all these events the only thing we could name our new family member was LUCKY OR LUCKY DOG. He has turned out to be a great family pet and very sociable and lovable. The truth is I am not quite sure who the lucky one is; me or him, Lucky has been a big part of our family for the past 10 years and almost like one of the kids, just one that has not flown the nest yet. I know it's going to be a sad day when LUCKY DOG is gone.
