Luke & Duke: Alums of 1st RLRR clinic

UPDATE ON RLRR DOGS FROM VOLUNTEER JODI:

Luke and Duke were from the very first spay/neuter clinic that was held at Karen’s 9 years ago – March 17 to 19, 2006. It was with Animal Ark’s Neuter commuter – at the time. It was so different than today’s spay/neuter clinics. It was held at the cat house on Karen’s property and the dogs/cats recovered on the floor of the cat house. 

DUKE TODAY

Duke and Luke were fabulous black labs (of course). Karen received a call on these two dogs from I believe it was the game warden. Someone had been trying to kill Luke with a 2 x 4 but he wouldn’t die, so the warden was called and thankfully the warden called Karen. 

LUKE

Luke was the gentler of the two and when he woke from his neuter surgery he awoke wagging his tail. Duke woke up growling. Second Chance took them through their program and I got to foster both of them. 

DUKE IN YOUNGER DAYS

Duke stayed with me because he was a bit of a challenge and I accepted his challenge; Luke was adopted very quickly. Luke’s only residual medical issue from his beating was that his eye teared a bit but he wasn’t fearful of people whatsoever.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Thanks for sharing these memories, Jodi!
