How Did You Get Your Dog?






Did you buy your dog from a breeder? Did you get your dog from a shelter? We want to hear your dog stories!

One of our favorite dog stories is about Brandy. A young married couple found Brandy hanging around their house. When the young couple came home from work there was the dog! The young couple did not think much about the dog being there as there was a new house being built right next door. They thought that the dog belonged to one of the construction crew.

The following morning there was the dog which was a German Shepherd sitting on their back deck. The young female fed the dog some crackers and gave her some water. She felt bad as she did not know when the last time the dog had eaten. Both of them went to work again. When they came home the young wife asked the young husband if they could keep her. She had no dog tags on. He hemmed and hawed. She told him to look into those “big brown eyes.“

She called the village hall to see where lost dogs are taken. They are taken to the Water Department for two weeks. If no one claims them, then you can adopt them.

The young wife wrote up a description of the dog and she hung it around the small town they live in. She counted down the days to her husband. When a few days went by the wife called the Water Department to see if anyone had claimed the dog. She was happy when the gentleman at the other end said, “No.”

As the time went by, the wife talked to the husband about the dog and he agreed they’d keep it once the two weeks were up. Then it was meant to be.

They named their dog Brandy Alexandra. The dog ended up living for about 8 more years. She was the best dog they ever could have imagined. They shared popcorn together. They shared long walks, took a lot of photos of the dog and the dog had her own bed in their bedroom. They would laugh when she would sigh and snore. She was their protector when all three of their children were born. She died of old age and is sadly missed and talked about often.
