Cody

I have no idea what breed Cody is. He came to live with me about ten years ago with his brother Bo. These boys were pups, they were starving, smelly, full of fleas and ticks and scared to death. They had been left behind on some property when someone moved out and a woman I knew had heard about them and brought them to me. I kept them in a kennel in my backyard for a few weeks at first and it took them about a month to stop hiding from me when I came out to see them. Finally, they relaxed and moved inside the house where they became aquainted with the couch. They LOVED the couch and would sit there all day and sleep there at night. Once they were completely well, I tried to find them a home together. Normally I separate pups but these guys were tied to the hip and I couldn't bear to separate them. Finding a home for two dogs is next to impossible so evenutually they became permanent members of my growing canine family. Bo died about a year ago, it broke my heart. He was the sweetest dog you could ever know and he was a caretaker for the other dogs. There was a point when I brought in a new foster dog many years ago and one day, while I was at work, the foster dog attacked Cody. He was injured very badly (if you look close enough you can see that one ear sits nearly on top of his head). They had to pull his skin together to stitch him up and that made his ears a bit lopsided. Bo took care of him for weeks, barely left his side while he recovered. Cody and Bo are very special dogs and I know that Bo still watches over us. Here is a picture of Bo.
