When
I first got King he was barely 5 1/2 weeks old. He was one of a
litter of eight puppies and the guy who had the mother dog was going to
have them destroyed if he couldn't find homes for them that night. I
rallied and got neighbors to go pick a pup and take it home.
I had broken my back and knees just six months before I got King. My
doctor had just told me to get a pet to get me out and moving around.
The next day, here comes this neighbor with one of the litter and tells
me he is going to take them to the pound if they weren't adopted out
that night. I knew that we were in a Rabies Quarantine area, so they
wouldn't survive if they went to the pound. Next thing I knew I had this
soft little warm, fuzzy body in my hands with these big brown eyes, tip
over ears and a big white heart on his forehead. I declared he stole my
heart so I named him King of Hearts.
And a King he has been. He never chewed things that wasn't given to him,
never destroyed shoes, furniture or anything else. He has been my
constant companion, got me walking again, and in general gave me a
reason to get up and live each day! For this he always will be my "King
of Hearts".
