A little about me...I had been looking for a dog for several months with no luck. As I entered the shelter there was this mangy looking dog who had jumped up against the fence when I approached. He really needed a bath and I could see he had recently been “fixed.” He wagged his short little tail as hard as he could and made eye contact with me. I took him out of his kennel and he jumped into my lap and just pressed into me, getting as close as he could. After about 10 minutes I decided that I needed to at least look at this other dog, so I put Oliver back in his kennel. When I returned, I saw a family taking Oliver out of his kennel. I walked up to the family and said “You need to return that dog to his kennel, he’s been adopted already.” I grabbed Oliver and ran to the front desk before the family could realize my subterfuge. Legally, I adopted Oliver but in fact he adopted me and thus began a beautiful relationship that continues to this day!
