I want to thank you for saving this dog. It was ananswer to my prayers. Dr. Gradous is my vet also, and he is the best we have in this area. I use to be a park ranger at that lake, and tried for over a year to actually find and rescue "Blackie" as he was known to us. He was very reclusive and I am no longer employeed there, but I am so happy to hear that he was saved. In the short time I worked there I took many dogs that had been abandoned on that lake and found them homes, with the help of a few other rangers.
I am so glad to see that so many of you campers are all for helping those who can't help themselves. That was the worse part of being a park ranger, knowing that I could not save them all.
If someone is reading this who thinks that leaving an unwanted pet in a campground is ok, it's not. First of all, it's illegal. These dogs become sick, victims to coyotes, run over, or starve slowly. it is a horrible way to spend the rest of your life, and I have seen all scenarios first hand when working on that project. There are rescue groups that will help place pets that need new homes, so please don't leave them in the woods. If you do not want to care for a pet, do not get one.
Now that I'm off my soapbox, thank you once again for giving this dog some love and joy in this world.

Dixie Flyer,
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy.
You know Dixie Dew, the mighty Schnauzer, has a crush on him. She thinks he is one handsome fellow. Now that he has a home she is thrilled.
Me too.

I'm back now Richard. The girls want me to ask you if it OK if they invite Old Fellow to join the DOTL. It's a great idea, but I told them you two are a little busy right now with the vet and all. They're kinda anxious though.

Old Fellow and I want to know about the DOTL. So if you will explain it to us, Old fellow just might go for it.

DOTL = Defenders Of The Light
An evergrowing group of RV.NET superpets who are pledged to fight Evil and Darkness wherever and whenever it raises it's ugly head.
Here is a link to a couple of the most recent sagas:

There have been four DOTL sagas written by nifty250 (Lorni), myself and others over the last year or so. In each case the DOTL was able to successfully save the world from Evil and Darkness. Here is the newest group roster I have of the DOTL. There have been some additions since:

To bh105 from a campground owner:
We agree with you. We have had several pets abandoned / dumped on our property over the years. We couldn't keep them all. We found homes for the ones we could, but we had to let the animal shelter take more than we wanted (one is one too many).
Our congratulations go to Old Fella for getting such caring and loving "parents". At 10 or 11 he may not have many years left, but they will definitely be happy ones! And thanks for keeping us posted.

OK, I have been reading this and it is such a wonderful story with such a happy ending, but am thinking that it should not be the end!! How about contributing to the Humane Society, local shelters, anything that involves rescue of animals and all in the name of "Old Fellow." Perhaps we could start a thread where we record it or have private messages sent to one of us who can total up what is being done simply because one person had the compassion to inconvenience himself to help a "lessor creature."
