How has your dog impacted your life or the lives of others?
Guido is known and loved all over as my soul mate and the long time mascot of our Sanctuary. He goes everywhere with me, keeps all the rescue dogs in line and in his younger days used to herd goats and chickens back into their pens with permission, however, as he got older his security clearance was revoked but he can still be seen by the neighbors driving the Gator to the mailbox. Guido loves balls and can sniff out all things round. He has been known to find balls in yards at yard sales and carry them to the car!

How did your dog become a part of your family?
Story too long to type here but he chose me!
