I was driving my car one day and stopped by the animal shelter which I did during the week. I looked at all the dogs and showed them attention. I finally walked all the way to the back to find an old golden retriever mix laying on the floor immediately he came up to the kennel and wagged his tail. I checked his papers and his time was almost up. I took him to the front desk and filled out his paper works and took him home that very day. The people didn't make me pay the adoption fee there because I come recently and rescue dogs. I took him home and bathed him and we played ball. I felt a deep connection with him and named him Dakota and I didn't want to give him up. I kept him as my dog and he was fine with the dogs coming in and out. He died and now is buried in my backyard and I think about him everyday and I am sure rover my other dog does too they were best friends. I will never forget you buddy love you.
