Over the last 20 years, the Love Me Tender animal rescue in central Tennessee has rounded up more than 1,000 abandoned dogs. And although most are timid and untrusting, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports, one Rottweiler named Ella was notably different.
"I could just tell right away she was somebody's baby. She just didn't act like a stray dog to me," said Kathy Wilkes-Myers, who found the dog a few months ago.
Ella was emaciated and drinking from a drainage ditch along an empty stretch of highway. Kathy says it's typical for people to dump unwanted pets in the middle of nowhere - but again, the dog's demeanor convinced her there was more to the story. So she did some detective work, and what she found is a heart-wrenching tale of unending loyalty.

Dogs are amazing! Such a happy story. You should do one every Friday. Ambiguous does his Friday photography, I do my Friday funnies, you should do Amazing stories on Fridays. (Just a thought)
ReplyDeleteHunter - I love your Friday funnies. I always laugh aloud when reading them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I will think on the doggie stuff. I love dogs and cats and squirrels too. Had a squirrel as a pet once.
