UPDATE: This big cutie’s people have been found & he has been reunited with them! His real name is Ghost, he’s 11, & he is VERY loved. It was such an honor to get to know him these last couple of days. And I hope he enjoys his new collar & coat too! What an absolute lovebug!

Update on the sweet bully I found: He stayed the night at my friend Elizabeth’s house, & he was the sweetest boy! We’re calling him Wally, short for Walrus, & he’s absolutely the sweetest to humans & other pups! I’m taking him to the vet this morning to get him a rabies shot & get him checked out.
