Mary is fostering Cosmos from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for Secondhand Hounds. I think he looks a lot like Sammy who went to a new home through Pet Haven recently and Mary thinks he looks like another of her former fosters.
READERS: Can you guess the breeds Cosmos may be? Mary thinks may be some chesapeake bay retriever or newfie or spaniel? He had double dew claws on back feet and hair is kinky when wet...
COSMOS & LORNA GETTING A DRINKI think Mary may attract the funny-looking dogs, she also fostered Lorna for us and ended up adopting her!
COSMOS EATING A PEPPERNOTE FROM MARY:
Cosmos has arrived safe and sound and is currently resting after romping in the yard with the dogs. He's a nice boy. He reminds me of my first Red Lake dog, Lauren now known as Bear.
He has been bathed and is settling in. I'm a little concerned about the weakness in his rear legs, hoping good food will clear that up. He might be just growing too fast!
COSMOS AND FRIENDSAFTER VET VISIT:
They did x-rays today and think Cosmos may have hip dysplasia but are sending the x-rays to an ortho vet. Cosmos is getting some pains meds now, so I hope they help him a bit.
He is 38 lbs already!

We fostered a dog that looked just like this and had the kinks when wet. The sire was an irish setter and the mom was a mostly black german shepherd.
I can see Irish setter, he's very lanky and lean
Oh, gee - I hope the prognosis is good for Cosmos. Thx for the update! :)
