What's your dog's story?

Tweet

I visited my parents this weekend, and when we were talking about dogs, we remembered Rex. I want to share with you Rex's story - a story with happy end. It happened a long time ago, I think there have been more than 13 years since then. I went to my parents and I found my mother crying. When I asked her why, she told me that my father brought home a black stray, and he told her that the dog was one of those dangerous breeds (a pitbul, actually). She told me, between her tears, that she didn't want such a dog in her yard. I ran to see the fierce dog, but instead of a 'dangerous pitbul' I found an emaciated black mutt, who was fawning with his whole body because he was not alone any more. He wasn't a pitbul at all! When I asked my father why he had choosen this stray from hundreds of strays, he told me that Rex had something in his eyes he couldn't resist. My father was to a footbal match and Rex sat next to him for the whole game. That's why he decided to take him home. His friends told my father that the dog he was about to take home was a pitbul, but it didn't matter to him. I had to convince my mother that Rex wasn't a pitbul, so she can stop worry. I showed her some pictures of pitbuls, and eventually she understood she had nothing to fear. We all laughed at the whole story, and Rex became a full member of the family. He lived for about 13 years in our family, and he died of old age. So, what's your dog's story? Would you like to share it?
