Just a couple of days after the tornado ripped through a nearby community, I spotted a puppy running down the side of the highway near where utility crews were working trying to restore power. the puppy ran out into the road just as a utility vehicle was coming. Although the puppy was not run over, the wind from the truck bowled him over several times. I stopped and rescued him. After several days of inquiry, I have yet to find the owner, so it looks as though I have adopted him! From my best guestimates, since he hasn't yet got even all of his baby teeth, and the fact that he is trying to gnaw down the entire house as well as my Peekapoo, I think he is around 8 weeks old. And, as he is already a good 10 lbs, he is going to be a very large dog! In less than a year, I have gone from a three and a half pound chihuahua, (MISS you SO MUCH, Bitsy!) to something that seems to have "horse" DNA in its genetic heritage!
Help, Lord! Andy |

Hi Andy
That is a wonderful story and I am so glad you have decided to keep the puppy. They say things happen for a reason and I think you were meant to be there at that moment. Please post some pictures of your new found rescue. We all here would love to see him. Angels are sent in mysterous ways. Hugs to you and your new puppy P.S. What have you named him Hugs Anna |

And, speaking of tornados, I named the pup "twister" because of the circumstances I found him in, and the fact that he does not "wag" his tail, but twists it to one side!That is a wonderful story and I am so glad you have decided to keep the puppy.

He looks to be part St. Bernard...anybody have any guesses? Andy |

I was going to say St. Bernard but he is definitely a mix, but I'm not sure of what. He is so cute!!!!
