Shortly after the death of our golden, we were looking for a chocolate lab from Lab Rescue in socal. One day we got a call to see a "pure bred choc lab" that was found wandering around a movie set. My wife went, "just to look" and came home with Chip - the "pure bred choc lab":
He had a bad case of mange and by the way he went after food wrappers, he was hungry for much of his time as a pup. We figure he is half choc lab and half bully breed (amstaf, staffie or something) and is the neatest dog ever. Amazing personality.
Go resuce dogs! Especially the mutts!
