One New Year's Eve I was driving down our dirt road and discovered three puppies, about eight weeks old sitting by the side of the road looking totally lost. Since the temperature was approaching ten degrees or so I stopped and herded the pups into the car. We found homes for two of the pups but Spike was so cute we couldn't bear to part with him. That was 14 years ago and today he is an adult German shepherd with short bowed legs, kind of funny looking but just as cute and loving as when we rescued him. He is slowing down a bit but has given us so much love and affection that I wouldn't trade him for any other dog.
