I read about it this afternoon! Wonderful story.
My son finally found his battle buddy a couple of months ago. Named him “McClane” and it is amazing how much this shepherd loves him. Under a year (he was a stray-emaciated—any ideas on how to fatten him up?) and clean bill of health except for being so slim. HUGE feet, good hips.
Run full internal parasite/tick/thyroid panels on him and if he’s clean, start throwing -good- food into him.
I recommend EVO grain free [beef] and if that’s too steep, try Taste Of The Wild.
They have several varieties and my dogs prefer High Prairie.
It’s available at all Tractor Supply stores.
