RacerX - Bless you sir.....a wonderful example to set for the next generation. Selfless, considerate, and a generous caring soul.
I dub ye "The Dog Whisperer"
I help with transporting rescues when I can - here's "Freckles" - a deaf Red Heeler on route to her new home last year. Her coat was the softest I've ever felt....she spent some time with a behaviourist afterwards as well and is now a wonderful companion for her new human.
