Only Dogs Are Allowed To Have Tails
There I am. I have to say, I'm quite the handsome fella. I mean, look at me. I have a great smile, obviously.

Lost, Found and a Forever Home. Runner-Up in 24/7 Companion Challenge.
Lost I’m not sure how I got here, but I’ve been on my own for several days. Everything is new and scary. Sometimes I’m able to slow down and I think I’ve found a safe spot to hide and rest, but someone yells, “Get out of here,” and I run.
