I had lost my beloved Staffordshire mix Mia at only six years old and was beyond devastated. Mia's brother Duncan, a lab mix, was lonely without her and so was I. A month later my grandmother's sweet dog Polly came to live with us, but our family still felt too small. Thinking that I might foster, I went to the animal shelter - and the first dog I saw was Annie. Almost identical in looks to Mia, she has her own very distinctive personality. Now with me for over eleven years, she is spoiled rotten, stubborn as a mule, and the center of our household.
