I have a friend who often drove past a home where a Collie was tied in the yard. No matter what the weather was, he was out there tied to a tree. After a few months she stopped her car, went to the door and asked the man if she could adopt the dog. He told her, “Take him.” So she did. The dog had heartworms, fleas, ticks, and his coat was so matted, he had to be shaved. He didn’t go through being shy and withdrawn as so many like him do. He seemed to know he’d been rescued and enjoyed his new life. When his coat came in, shades of white and brown and gold, he was beautiful. He lived a long, healthy, happy with her and the two Collies who were already in her life.
