Ranger1, let us know your first impressions of him when he arrives in your life. ALL of the dogs that I have rescued understood very quickly the bond between us.

Including the dog that I stilll miss even after she's been gone more than 30 years. My sister in law showed up at my door one day with a poodle; my sis had driven 60 miles because she was sure I would take her sight unseen; the dog's previous owner could no longer keep her.

About 3 hours later when she left, the dog was nowhere to be seen and didn't come out of hiding until she was gone. I had that dog for more than 13 years.
