You know, that blurry screen thing seems to be catchy.

Of course Onyx will work out. The other two had basic manners inbred. If Onyx ever had any though, they were confined to the part that was removed when the tail that got docked. After a year, she seems to be developing a short list of things that are taboo, so I guess we should count our blessings. The line between owner and master is extremely blurry at times with this one though.

“Dogs are the most wonderful creatures God gave us.”

No doubt about it. I echo what Will Rogers said: “When I die, I don’t want to go to heaven if there are no dogs there. I want to go where the dogs are.”

We adopted a 1 year old border collie last year that also had been neglected, and I suspect abused. The dog is simply wonderful - smart, outgoing, and always wants to know where his sheep are (my children). The poor thing was so skinny when we got him, but he is all muscle now.

If anyone is looking for a dog, please consider the local shelter.

And I want to nominate him to be an honorary Viking Kittie!

Maybe this is a new classification! “Viking Doggie!”

I swear, Australia MUST be the real world inspiration for Harry Harrison’s “Deathworld” series of novels! Just about everything there will kill you...

If you can avoid the poisonous snakes, you’ve got the Sydney Funnelweb Spider, then all sorts of seriously poisonous jellyfish, and the blue ringed octopus, and if you can avoid all those, you get to play with a great white shark!

Most dogs will fight to the death for their ‘owners’

Unfortunately there is a whole industry for just that reason.

What a great story, he repaid them after only 4 days for rescuing him.

So many abused dogs have issues, I can attest to that with mine. I can say definitely no one would break into my house without a fight and he’s only 17 pounds. :D

But, they all deserve love and kindness and they will repay you.

Dobes are fine pups. They look so fierce, and yet the ones I’ve met have always been these gonzo goofballs that would make even the goofiest, sweetest Golden Retriever appear to be a snarky, bad tempered junk yard dog. (Of course, they’re related to Rotts... of course... ;-)

Truly a shame that our Arab "friends" condemn the ownership of dogs, and feel that dogs are dirty and shouldn't be allowed in the home. They even have Dog Prisons, where they take dogs away from their owners for walking them out in public. Threads on this have appeared on FR.

Dog is God spelled backwards!

FANTASTIC JOB, KAHN!!!

DOGS RULE! <---my four Dachshunds MADE me type that ;----) (Dachshund smile)

"He was starving for attention and wanted to be loved because he came from an abused home, so I’m not surprised about what he has done at his new home."

These dogs never forget just who it was that saved them ... their loyalty knows no bounds.
