Dogs are some of the most selfless animals on the
planet. Few humans are worthy of the
unquestioning adoration and love that a dog is willing to give them. However, for some folks the treatment of
these loyal companions goes beyond mere indifference and into the realm of
deliberate cruelty.
Karen, the woman
in the article, contacted me recently to offer me a chance to be a rescuer of a
dog that had been abandoned.
Anyway, Yet To Be Named Dog gets along fine
with bigger dogs, as Jean already had a dog when she took him off the streets
and rescued .
So he is now mine and when I go back to the States the little guy will
be coming with me. MacBeth will get a little brother to hang out with and he is good around smaller dogs as he
plays with them at puppy school.
Yet To Be Named Dog will move in Monday night.

A recent article in Kuwait Times discusses one incident. [Link]
Karen, the woman
in the article, contacted me recently to offer me a chance to be a rescuer of a
dog that had been abandoned.
I spoke before about the issues I had run into once
before in dealing with dogs here, but this dog was a Maltese and not on the "no
export" list. I then received a flurry of pictures from Jean who was taking care of the dog
in the interim. The before pix was a
little troubling, and my initial opinion was that it was not a dog at all but
an angry, dirty mop.
The dog had been on the streets for at least a week, but
was in relatively good condition. His
fur was matted and had to be sheared off which gave the
animal a totally different appearance.
Jean took him to a vet for an exam, got him shots and had him chipped, once it
was verified he did not already have one.
I went to see him a few days after rescue and was greeted by an excited and friendly puppy who was
ready to go home with me right then and there.
His face was happy and he enjoyed being petted and handled. It was obvious that the animal had been part
of a family at some point and was probably abandoned when his owner either left
or went on summer vacation.

As for me, I get
some company and the non-judgmental acceptance, adoration, and comfort that
only a dog can give - after a long day that is a very good thing. I hope I can live up to Yet To Be Named Dog's expectations. Oh, and I do I
get free entertainment too, as Yet To Be Named Dog plays a mean
guitar.
I came across your blog from Expat and the City - and instantly loved it !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm now browsing through your older posts - and I can't stop smiling - great sense of humor *** and I would suggest you do try the camel milk, it's not that different - more creamier, but very similar to cow's milk I'd say.
After what I've read of your posts so far, if I were to describe you as a dish, it would be like - Hilarious with a pinch of sarcasm, mixed in with Kuwaiti spices but cooked the American way
:O and a suggestion for your blog: try adding it to www.botamba.com - its a Kuwait's Blogs Aggregator
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie doggy! :)
