Awwww, what a good looking dog. I was just looking at Shepard pups today. Trying to decide if I want to get one. I’ll never understand how people can do such things.

South40 — since you posted the original article about Courage, I think you’ll be happy to see this. :)

Thanks for alerting us to this story, that many of us followed carefully to close to a happy ending.

Some people need to be treated like they treat their animals to see what it feels like.

OMG, he’s beautiful

Here’s a video you may not have seen. Sorry it’s from the Huffpost. I googled it about a german shepherd dog in Alaska leading a state trooper to a fire at his home. His owner actually told him to go get help.

My kind of dog. I have 5 of them.

I got a German Shepherd once that her owner moved away and left her to starve. What great dog she was. They are my favorite breed.

He’s a beautiful dog I hope he gets a really good home. I’d take him in a heartbeat but not sure how my kitty would like that?

This is Thunder. He is a silver sable. http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/cc238/alaskaace/?action=view&current=1-20-09001.jpg" target="_blank">

I can tell you that the owner if you can call her that name has gone all through the country as DO NOT SELL OR GIVE A DOG PERIOD TO THIS PERSON.

Courage is looking fantastic and so fast too! WOW! His eyes are alive!

I want to play with those ears!

[trisham]

Poor baby. He’s so handsome and looks so smart and eager to please!

Good post...
after seeing the story of “Buddy” leading the Alaska State Trooper
to the burning workshop of his master on FOX yesterday and again today.
(”Buddy” got a special food bowl, silver-plated?, to honor his assistance
to the Alaska LEO and his “pack”)

Having, after about six months, being accepted by my brother and
sister-in-law’ pound-adopted Australian Shepard...the story of this
thread means a lot to me.

Here's some background on the perpetrator of this crime.
