Reminds me of a dear little pupper we rescued.... He was so cute and affectionate, that the person who ran the shelter, adopted him instantly! But he ran away from the shelter when all the dogs were taken on a field trip.... they looked everywhere for the fellow... put up posters.... but there was no sign of him.... The only consolation is that, he was much much older when he decided to run off... so at the very least, he had loving care in his growing up days... I miss him to this day.... i hope he's happy and that god's watching over him.... :(
