About a year ago we picked up a stray that was about 10 years old, what we were looking for more then anything was personality, and we found a hell of a good one. The stray we found was a mangy little guy named max and i really haven't been around many dogs that are as friendly, he was also well sized for a suburban household and (30lbs or so) was hypoallergenic, but we simply couldn't figure out what breed he was, all we knew was that he was extremely pleased to be around people and had a more frantic tail then any dog i had ever seen, yet one of the calmer demeanors of any dog i've ever met as well. He was enthusiastic, but polite at the same time. Finally we figured out he was something called a "Dandie Dinmont Terrier" and if you look that up on google images i can gaurentee you that the dogs with evenly cut hair are 100x better looking then all the alien looking show-dogs that pop up on the web, when trimmed respectfully though they end up looking like a regular dog, stocky, 30lbs, and with Rod Stewart hair. Anyways to the point, he had some accidents and my dad lost trust in him, me and my dad our moving because of divorce settlement so he decided to lay down the law and state that the dog had to go soon after my sister and my mom left the house. So it was, we found a nice family but their daughter somehow got violently ill around Max dispite the fact he was hypoallergenic, so now hes back at the shelter that we originally got him from more then a year ago. I haven't thought about him too much while awake, but if im honest my dreams have been filled with him , mainly me going and picking him up from the people we gave him too (keep in mind its a two hour drive from where i live to where my former dog is now)
I feel its too late to have him try and live with me again, i don't think my dad would allow it, but whats really crushing is that i hear hes anxious, which doesn't at all sound like him, he was cool, collected, and had probably the most dynamic energy level ive ever seen in a dog, but now i'm worried hes about to give himself a heart attach, and all i can seemingly do is feel just as anxious
i loved that dog
