Dixie Chick

I took my Dana (IS) to the dog park and noticed a young dog (pittie mix) hanging out at a truck stop. I saw her a couple of times and said, if you are still here the next time I'm getting you. I think the truckers had been feeding her, but no one took her. I bought a McD cheeseburger, and she hopped into the car. I was concerned because she did look a lot like a pit bull. My vet said she was a hound mix. She was good with the other dogs (I was fostering chihuahuas for a rescue). She was the sweetest girl, and I never regretted bringing her home. She was not chipped, and had no collar. At this time, there was a lot of propaganda about pit bulls being dangerous, and if I had taken her to the shelter, she would have been put down. So glad I didn't. She lived with us for 10 or more years and developed lung cancer. I was with her to the end.
