When we rescued our LabxBorder Collie Torran (who looked a LOT like Koko), it was his third time around. He was Lab-sized with a Lab tail and had lost his homes basically because he was too much for the humans who took him. He rode him in the back seat and you never saw a more forlorn-looking creature — head down, ears down, the most crushed-looking dog I’ve ever seen, his whole body said “Here we go again, another failure waiting to happen.” When he finally realized how much he was appreciated and loved that ol’ lab tail began wreaking its havoc and the grin was from (no longer flat) ear to ear. He loved his people loving him!
