Your Pet's Rescue StoryHoudinni aka Dinni was found in the woods on the outskirts of Orlando. The rescuer believed she has been out there about a month due to her condition. The rescuer kept her about a month looking for the owner. She lived in the barn with her horses. The rescuers daughter knew I was looking for a dog to run with and get me out of my funk after my pug passing away. We went to visit Dinni on Fathers Day 6 years ago. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight. I had always had smaller dogs so I was nervous but I knew she needed us. I could not leave her that day. We brought her home and she was like a wild animal. The first thing she did was jump on the dining room table. Initially I ran her 11 miles a day in order to get her energy out. I could tell she had never lived in a home before. It took lots of time, patience and love but after about 2 years she was a fully trained house dog. She is still not good with small animals because she lived on them in the woods but she is as sweet as can be to humans, kids and old people especially. She is always smiling and our family is whole with her in it. She loves the beach and swimming...we always call her a sand dog not a snow dog. We are very lucky to have found her!!!
