Chance with Lulu

I did Chance's follow up on Tuesday.
It was wonderful to see him so settled and happy, no doubts that it was absolutely the right home for him!
All the issues he had with me have disappeared.
He has met all the different dogs on the estate without a problem and is firm friends with Romeo their other dog but follows Lulu around like a shadow.
When I called Romeo had disappeared over to the stableyard but Chance came padding out behind his mistress.




Lulu was looking for another dog after tragically losing her first Stafford Rex at eleven, a year ago.
Rex sounded a hard act to follow and she has a very moving memorial to him that brings a lump to my throat whenever I read it.

Dan the keeper with Chance.

Whilst there I also met their keeper Dan. What a wonderful way he has with dogs I felt loud and erratic after a few moments in his presence.
He told us how he walked Chance with his working Spaniels and his Bull Mastiff without any problems.
Also how Chance 'picked up,' a water logged Partridge and then took it to his wife, there was not a mark on it.
What a wonderful happy ending for a pound dog who was running out of time!






Thank you Lulu and family for giving Chance a chance.

Definitely one of the highlights of 2012
