This beatutiful dog has more guts and brains than Obama, our “community organizer”, who ONLY believes in the COLLECTIVE approach. Obama SHUNS INDIVIDUAL effort.
Love this doggie!

She was returned to her family last week when Griffith contacted rangers who had captured a dog that had been living off feral goats on the largely uninhabited island, in the faint hope it might be their long-lost pet.
Griffith said that when the dog was first spotted on the island she had been in poor condition.

Great story.
Sounds like a modern day "Island of the Blue Dolfin" for canines.
