Dave, pictured previously, is, like his pals, a rescue dog. I have had him about three months. Prior to that he had been plucked from the streets of a provincial town where he had collapsed because he was near death, weighing as he did just 19 kg (half his proper weight) and being so infested with mange that he had chewed off large parts of his coat.
His rescue warranted a story in the Carrot and Cow and, as no-one else was in a rush to take him on, Pither took him into The Towers to join the pack.
Below is the photo used in the story about his rescue and one of those photos I told you about which were taken a few days ago. Quite a difference, eh?
(Incidentally, and for Ginni, that's not Pither with him - it's a lad from the rescue centre)

Reg, the difference is startling! He is the picture of health and beauty now...as every dog should be! You've done him proud!!
P.S. Is that you in the photo with Dave?
He scrubs up lovely.
How any one could treat a dog the badly I'll never understand. Amazing what some food and love can do. Thanks for being a loving old curmudgeon.
Has he eaten the lad from the rescue centre? Hats off to you Reg, the Munch (all I want for my birthday is a dog.) wants to know where you live so he can come and stay.
'ello Pither - how are you? In bed already, you lazy get :-) Awwwww.. Dave is SO gorgeous.. and so is the lad in that pic.. where did you say the rescue place was? :-) Only joking!!!
Hmmm... should we have 'before and after we met' pictures of thee'n'me??!! Nah, you've still got as much mange as you had before :-O
