Friday morning, while my dog, Kirby, and I were out for our walk, we found two puppies, about two months old, that had been dumped. One, a female, was very healthy and playful but the other, a male, was sick. After bringing them home and giving them food and water the male perked up but he definately was malnourished.

My DH put them in the back of his truck and took them to the pound. When he got there, the female was gone. He assumed that she had jumped out of the back. He left the male there and went on his way. That night, he and our DS left to go on a Boy Scout campout. The female was discovered in the back of his truck at the church the Boy Scouts were meeting at. She had crawled up under his tool box and had gotten pinned under there by his butane tank. Fortunately it had rolled out enough for her to stick her head out and some of the boys saw her. She never once made a sound to let someone know that she was there.

So he brought her home and we are going to keep her since it seems she was meant to stay. We are calling her Dixie. She is black mostly with a little white on her chest and most of her toes are white. She appears to have some Lab in her. Her feet are as large as Kirby's and he weighs 63 pounds, so we look for her to be a big dog too. She has a new collar so she is officially "part of the family".
 
Awww what a sweet story (so terrible that they were dumped though). Congrats on your new addition!!
 
I hate that people abandon animals like that. How lucky for Dixie that your family found her :)
 

How sad that someone could be heartless ehough to do such a thing to any living creature. Congrats on the new addition to your familly. Hugs!!!
 
Awwww.............That started out as a sad story Kirby, but had a happy ending.

Dixie sounds like she is soooooo cute.......take good care of here & give her lots of cuddles;)

I've a real soft spot for dogs......I'd have a houseful if I was allowed:cool: :p

You did a good thing taking them home & feeding them & then to the pound to find a home. But little Dixie was obviously meant to be yours for keeps:Pinkbounc :bounce: :p
