We at first provided a foster home for this pup through a local rescue group. She inherited the brindle pattern of the Boston and the body style and shape of the Rat. She stole our hearts with her entertaining aerobatics in play and loyal/loving nature, so we adopted her.
We've raised and have had several purebred dogs over the last 40 years, mostly spaniels. Loved them all. But this pup, so far, has proved to be the brightest and most trainable at her age we've ever had.
She may be a mutt according to the AKC but we didn't adopt her based on her "papers".
She may be a puppy mill (which I abhor) cast-off, but she's brought a light into our lives.
