They had maybe 20 or so dogs and probably a couple of dozen folks looking. As we walked around this one black puppy caught our attention. When we walked by her cage she would come to the front as if to get our attention and then sit in the back whenever anyone else would walk by. We finally asked an attendant if we could take her out to the courtyard to see how the three of us interacted. Once in the courtyard we put her on the ground and my wife & I sat on the bench. Katie then jumped up onto our laps and laid down across both of our laps. We were instantly sold so to speak and still feel that she picked us. During our time together she always wanted to be with us no matter what room we were in and would greet us at the door whenever we went out. She was an absolutely wonderful friend to us before she passed away recently. As much as we miss her we are blessed to have had 17yrs with Katie.

Read your comments and had to reply on a sticker I saw on a car at Doggie Doo Dog Park this morning. It contained four paws and the words "Who rescued who"?
