I was walking around enjoying the views and this Jack Russell Terrier kept following me around. I couldn’t shake him nor could I find his owners.
I was 21 years old and had just signed my lease on my very first apartment in San Diego and I was so excited I went to La Jolla cove to watch the sunset and explore the town that what would be my new home. So I took him home, made found posters and waited, and waited, and waited some more, after 30 days I took him to get neutered and registered him, after all he had won my heart. Since that day ne
arly eight years ago he has been my Shadow, my family, my best friend. He has done everything with me and for me and I for him. He has saved my life in more ways than I can even begin to tell you. I was not even a fan of dogs, or animals in general before I found him but he changed the direction of my entire life. Before I found him I was in college studying criminal justice and I am now a Dog Trainer who lives for the love of dogs. That is 100% due to the love this dog has shown me. Shadow opened my eyes to an entire world of dogs, rescue, my career, a plethora of amazing people and ultimately his brother Petri and sisters Sophie and Betty. Together we have an amazing family and I will forever be indebted to him for all of these and want to share his comings and goings with his friends.
