Imagine seeing Benji, the movie dog, but only weighing about 70 pounds, that is Lucky. She was born to the small stray dog at a store I worked at. She had them under a storage trailer. When they were two weeks old the owner decided to put them in a pen before they started crawling out into traffic. He sent one of the boys who worked there under the trailer to hand the pups out. You would think 5 or 6 pups right. Wrong!!!!!! 12 puppies, the mom weighed only about 25 or 30 pounds. We had decided before we even saw the pups that we would take one. Sarah had never had a puppy and she wanted one. When they pulled that many out we decided to take the pup then and bottle raise it. Lucky has been a joy, she is very protective of the girls. I think she would bite someone's throat out if they tried to hurt one of them, even though she is not aggressive. She is 9 years old, I think. She is slowing down a bit, she has arthritis and is a wee bit overweight. I am hoping we have many more years with her.
