We found this adorable puppy abandoned on CR 209 today. A lady in a nearby house said she saw a truck pull up and put him (in a large dogfood bag) down beside the road.

I have no idea how old he is and can't identify the breed or mix. He's very small (less than 20 pounds) and my guess is he's 3-4 months old. I will be getting him checked by a vet in the next couple of days.

He is calm, extremely friendly, follows us around like a shadow and appears to be housebroken. He is getting along fine with our two larger dogs.

Don't know yet whether we will be looking for a home for him or keep him ourselves. We are falling in love.

Do you have any ideas about what kind of dog he is?

She looks exactly like an Australian Cattle Dogs . Also known as Queensland Heelers. VERY loyal dogs, very active, VERY smart. They love their Mommy and Daddy and like other people...but LOVE their family. They are quick to learn and once they learn something they never forget. They top out at around 30-40 pounds. Ours is 12 years old and 30 pounds...she is a smallish female and still active. They like to keep busy will tend to herd you. She will walk by your side and nose your ankle every now and then. They are wonderful dogs....please keep him.
