Along with Maggie, my adopted female Rottweiler mix who died 3 years ago, they systematically disassembled a number of pieces of furniture. That’s Magoo on the left. He was already old when I adopted him. He was blind from birth as his optic nerves never formed. I believe he may be the Methuselah of dogs. On the right is the grand dame, big Daisy, 3.5 year old Kangal Shepherd I adopted 2.5 years ago. She was abandoned, made her way through a rescue to a kennel in Virginia. When she joined the pack, she tried to kill me and the other 3 pigs. Now, she is the biggest, sweetest, most delightful, gentle giant you ever met. She even goes to school with me some days and kids having a bad day often stop by my office or classroom to rub Daisy’s belly for some “therapy”. My pigs have given more than I can ever repay.
