Breed unknown Seattle, WA “Tyson,” as he was formerly known, spent his first couple of years tied to a back porch and ignored. His owners decided to put him down because they did not want to “deal” with him any longer. Mugsy found his forever home, and new name, in the nick of time where he lived a long, happy, and untethered life. When he finally did have to be put down it was due to old age and related health issues. He passed away at home in his family’s arms after enjoying his favorite supper of grilled steak and strawberries. He’s missed beyond measure.
Mixed breed Seattle, WA Shortly after Georgie was rescued by her humans, she was struggling to breath after a romp around the yard. The vet discovered she had a compromised trachea and found shrapnel, evidence that Georgie had once been shot. Other than the shortness of breath, there appears to be no negative effects of her previous life. Georgie is a sweet, playful, and loyal pal who acts more like a puppy than a “mature” lady of eight years old. She was a delight to get to know and to photograph.
Borzoi (Russian wolfhound) Seattle, WA I am always intrigued by the names people pick out for their buddies and Tazu-Abe is probably the most interesting. Named after a Japanese-American who was held in a Washington state relocation camp during WWII, Tazu is a very tall dog who enjoys acting like a puppy. Other interests include helping his dad clean the gutters and scratching photographers who try to take his photo.
