Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!

Klaus is 8 today and just as precious as the day I found him running in 6 lanes of traffic with 2 broken legs nearly 7 years ago.

I have seen tons of stray dogs over the years, many I could not help, but with Klaus I never questioned if I could help this dog.  I just saw him and I felt compelled to act. 

Procuring Klaus from the streets was as easy a rescue mission as anyone could ask for.  I simply threw open the car door and called him to me.  I hadn't even unbuckled my seatbelt when he hopped into my car, onto my lap, and immediately rested his head on my bosom with a sigh.  It's been true love ever since.

It is Klaus that set in motion my passion for all things dog.  With him I took my first dog training class.  Because of him I began to read books about dogs; learn about legislative issues that impact dogs and dog owners; visit dog parks; take photos of dogs; dream about working with dogs.

Have a special day, Baby K!  I love you!
