Saint resurrected

BEFOREThis St. Bernard came into a clinic for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue last summer so emaciated that he could barely walk. (You must reread the original posts about him from June 4 and 17 and look at those photos again.)

AFTER
He lives with his foster family, probably permanently. His new name is Jack.

CUDDLING WITH SISTER HARLEYHis "sister dog" Harley is trying to teach him how to play, but it's hard for him, since he lived for about 5 years or so without having the opportunity. She dangles toys and stuffed animals in his face, and he just looks at them.

One of his favorite things to do is to nap behind his foster Mom while she works at the computer. She calls him her little pork chop.

    I have one thing to say...WOW!!!

    Thanks to the great clinic staff, and special thank you to Lauren and Mike who took care of him and transported him out early that next morning. Also to Dee Dee and Rory who took care of him brought him back to life. AMAZING.
