My new dog Tommy that I adopted in February was born wild on the streets of Tonopah, Nevada. He and his 8 siblings were running wild with his mother and father. I adopted Tommy and my sister adopted his brother, Beau formerly named David. You see, all 8 puppies were named after the popular TV show “Eight is Enough”. The story is quite heartbreaking. The father of the puppies was a ferrel half lab, half shepherd that mated with a pretty little Basset hound and all the dogs survived living on the streets for over 6 months. The Las Vegas Basset rescue went and got them all but the father dog went crazy when they started capturing the puppies and they had to put him down. All 8 puppies were adopted including the Mommy that they named Joanie. I loved visiting the town and seeing it for myself. Now if I could just get Tommy to be a good dog or I swear he is heading back to Tono-paw!
