A few weeks ago I found a Facebook group called People United to Promote the Proper Identification of English Setters and hubby put up some of these pictures to the group.
A woman replied and said that he looked just like one of her dogs puppies. At this point, all we knew about Duke was that he was surrendered in West Virginia. Strange coincidence, This woman was from W. Va too and her Dogs name was Sadie May. That kinda made me curious as Duke had a sister at our shelter called Ellie may. I told her that and what Duke original name was and we were all shocked that it was indeed her former dog.
She was going thru a lot of things in her life and could not keep three dogs. So she felt the best thing was to surrender them with a guarantee that they would find good homes.She still has the momma Dog, Sadie.
She is so happy about this and we are going to try to find out where Ellie may have went.
The very best part is that she took tons of pictures of him growing up. Just yesterday Hubby and I were wondering what he looked like as a puppy.
So here is a picture of Duke as a puppy!
The chances of this happening are amazing! I have been given permission to post even more pictures!
That is Duke in the middle.

miracle for all of you. 
hopefully Ellie May will have an equally happy new chapter in her life, and you'll find her soon for peace of mind for all
and now she can come visit Duke with his momma whenever she wants!
It's really an amazing story! 
Its the very feeling he gives me every day!
