Elliott puppy rescue by Sally Miska Gahanna, OH

We weren't looking for a dog or pet at all. We have three cats. A friend found this puppy on the side of the road, clearly starving. I saw his face and thought, okay, we can do this. We named him Elliott and the fist couple of days were great. He laid in my lap and slept. I thought, "having a puppy is easy." Then, he got energy and a lot of it. He has been a lot of work. He has had many illnesses due to his depressed immune system. He loves dog parks and doggy daycare. He is a loving member of our family. I couldn't stand to not know what he is, pit bull being my worst fear. All I know about pit bulls is from the news. The DNA revealed he is Boxer, American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull) and Colliie. He is not vicious. He is not scary. He is a puppy that was looking for his family. This picture is a "one year later" picture. The first picture is the day he came to live with us. The second is one year later. He is the love of our life. We wouldn't trade him for anything.
