By THE STODDART FAMILY

We lost our beloved, Amber, this summer. Buddy, our nine-year-old has been so lonely, so we needed to start looking for a friend for him and a new pup to love for us. A friend told us about her niece who was fostering a two-year-old Catahoula/Shepherd mix. We reached out to her and the great organization, Last Hope K9 Rescue, and the adoption was done. We couldn’t be happier with our new pup who is a bit wild right now, but, he starts school in two weeks. He’s a lovely addition to our family. And Buddy is already loving him as much as us. Dogs are so special.
