My Cocker Spainel George
by Stacey Baker
(London)
I rescued George from somewhere in London. I can't remember where as it was 8 years ago. George was POORLY trained and he had been abused.
Eleanor (my child), Chris (my husband) and myself went to have a look around an adoption center. We were told that George was beaten and nearly died and had been left at the side of the road!
Apparently, this very kind couple coming back from their honeymoon saw him lying at the side of the road and decided to stop and pick him up.
He was wearing a collar so they knew he was called George, but on the other side it had written, I don't want George back.
So the couple picked George up and took him to the Cocker Spaniel adoption center.
We had just moved to London from America, and we wanted a dog to keep ours company. So we had a look around and Eleanor fell in love with George and Chris liked this dog called Tilly, who was a Springer Spaniel.
We took both of them!
George has grown up to be a great dog and has a lot planned. He is now 10 years old and is still looking fit and healthy! And he loves playing with my children (I had another child called Harry).
They all get on so well, so don't think rescued dogs are going to be horrible and badly behaved.
Please save dogs, what did they ever do to you?
