...but it didn't start that way.
As Hurricane Milton bore down on Southwest Florida the first week of October, passersby were horrified to see a terrified dog tied to a fence in a water filled ditch on the side of I-75.
State troopers were dispatched to try and coax the understandably reluctant dog into their car. That dog didn't trust anybody.
He was taken to the humane shelter where he was named, quite appropriately, Trooper.
But he languished there for quite a while, as he was very apprehensive and agitated around any potential adopters. Especially males, like his former owner.
However, last week one couple came in and he immediately bonded with them, nuzzling them and looking relaxed. Apparently the male, Frank, was an experienced bull terrier owner.
So now, the only question would be, would Trooper get along with Dallas, the couple's bull terrier.
Well that question was answered very quickly. Trooper and Dallas are inseparable.
Oh, and one more bit of good news to this story; Trooper's former owner is awaiting his court date. He faces up to 5 years in prison if convicted.
Sweet.....

It never ceases to amaze me how truly awful some people are with their pets, and then again how fabulous others are with theirs.
