Every dog lover believes that their dog or dogs are the best dogs. If your dog is a rescue dog, you may think he’s even more special.
On September 27, 2014, Pedro came to our home and completely changed our lives. I’ve read before how pet parents of rescue dogs claim their dog actually rescued them instead and how the desire to give a beautiful animal a second chance makes the experience even better.
I do agree with a lot of those things, but the one thing that I agree with the most with is something my husband told me: “I can’t believe no one wanted Pedro. If people only knew what a great, playful and funny guy this guy is.” I, too, believe that.
You see, we were told that Pedro was found wandering the streets alone. He was extremely underweight before he was taken to the Humane Society. From there, he went to Lucky Dog Rescue where he spent an entire year with a lovely couple who were Pedro’s foster parents while he waited for a forever home.
This may sound ridiculous, but I believe that God had saved Pedro for us, and that’s why he wasn’t adopted sooner. To me, Pedro is a gift from God.
