My Precious Murat

I know, it's an odd name. But I named him after a pirate named Murat Rais who died in battle at the age of 100! I found him out in my pasture about 1 ago amongst my hay ripped apart. It's my guess that he was either beaten and dropped off or hit by a vehicle. And it was bitter winter and people know how Boston Terriers cannot take weather extremes. He stayed in my garage for a week and then he could finally move around. I nursed him back to health after a few months and now he's the most devoted dog I've ever had. He runs after my car when I leave the house and he protects me from aliens (little children that he thinks are freaky little things). Ha! He's going to turn appoximately 4 years old this winter. I love him so very much and he's so spoiled!
