Meet A Love Story; The Captain & Tenille

A report came in about a couple of dogs hanging around the community park storage shed. When we arrived we found a beautiful little sheltie mix that had given birth to eleven puppies! Standing near the door was a handsome St Bernard mix, clearly the father. He ran into the woods as we approached. The mother happily allowed us to put the puppies in the car, but when we tried to put her in, she strained away and looking towards the woods, whimpered quietly. Once established at the foster home, she nursed the pups, but then would pace and pace in front of the door and windows. On the third day, someone left the door open for a minute, and she disappeared. She was gone all night. The next morning she was anxiously waiting at the door to come inside and nurse the pups. Standing at the edge of the yard was the big dog we had seen with her when we found her. She had traveled all the way across town to find him and bring him back with her. Every day she would divide her time between the puppies and going outside where the big dog happily greeted her. One day, he came inside and laid down in front of the fireplace as if he had lived there his whole life. Since then, the pups have been weaned and adopted, the pair have been spayed/neutered and housetrained. She, always the lady, likes to prance along on the leash. The big guy? Well, he like to play ball and wrestle, of course.
