Animal Rescue

Last week we were working in the front yard when we heard a car stop about 1/4 mile from our driveway and then start up again. They drove by us, and then this little dog showed up. He is a Miniature Pinscher, and he was pretty shook up about losing his people. All of our pets are strays, and we get really mad about people who dump animals. Min Pins are indoor dogs, and we don't want a dog in the house right now, so we have found a home for him.
Here he is getting acquainted with Hey Joe, a dog who was dumped on us in 1998. Hey Joe has been a very faithful watch dog out here on the farm. We have named the Min Pin Otto, and we are taking him to his new home on Tuesday.

Stories like this make me grit my teeth. I'm glad you're finding Otto a home.

He is smart and well behaved dog. The vet says that he is no more than eight months old. I thought about chasing down the people who dumped Otto, but then I decided that no good would come of catching them. Thanks for writing!
