Brando

Where Did You Find Your Dog?

Brando is an 11 year old senior Italian Greyhound. He was taken to a veterinarian in New Brunswick, Canada to be euthanised, because he barked at the owner's adopted children. The veterinarian refused to do it, and convinced the owner to surrender him to the Italian Greyhound Club of Canada's rescue program.

Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

We had brought him home to give him a week trial at our house, with our other two IGs. He was quite fearful, and nervous. After about three hours of coaxing and speaking softly, he allowed me to pik him up. He looked at me with his huge brown eyes, and I knew I was lost for good.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

He's amazing. In the few months he's been with us, he's changed and come out of his shell. He's even started to initiate play with our younger dogs, and will pick up a toy. It warms our heart to know that he was saved, and to see how he's grown emotionally.
