| LUKE LOVES AURELIA |
Aurelia hoped the family would surrender Sambo so she could help socialize him, but, sadly, it was not to be, and Sam went back home.
As fate would have it, one year later, Aurelia and her mom Kim were once again volunteering at a clinic. Karen got a call that there were two dogs that this person wanted removed from her property. She said the owner no longer lived there and left the two dogs behind. They had been chained, but now were running free.
UPDATE 1 FROM AURELIA'S MOM, KIM:
Just wanted to tell you what amazing progress Luke is making. He rides beautifully in the car, as you already know. We now have him going in and out of his crate easily!
UPDATE 2 FROM AURELIA'S MOM, KIM:
Aurelia took Luke to our local county fair. He passed with flying colors!!! He had a fabulous time and made many new friends.

Karen went to the residence and the two dogs, who were brothers and about 1 ½ years old, were so frightened that Karen could not catch them. Later, with the clinic still in progress, Karen and Jenny Wolfe took a ride to try to pick of the dogs and were lucky enough to run into the previous owner, who came along and caught the two dogs.
They turned out to be Cooper and Sam!!
When Aurelia saw the little black dog- her heart leaped!! They both knew each other and Aurelia held Sam all during the last day of the clinic. Then he went to the shelter where he and his brother remained for the next five weeks.

Sam was so shy at the shelter that he hid in the doghouse for 3 weeks and would not let Karen leash him or walk him. When, he finally came out, Karen saw a ray of hope for him. It was another lesson in patience.
Finally on July 26th, Aurelia was reunited with Sam, now renamed Luke, to provide foster care for Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue.

He plays well with our other dogs, although he does have an issue with food guarding with the other dogs, but not us. With the weather break, Aurelia will be taking him out for a run today to see how he does. Next we'll be taking him out in public to see how he does meeting other people.
He's fine with Rusty, who is a very tall and rather loud person. He even seeks out attention and likes to snuggle.
I am amazed at how smart he is. He understands 'no' and will come when called. Today we'll start with 'sit' and possibly 'down'.
Believe it or not, I think he'll be ready to put up for adoption very shortly!

At one point in the day, Aurelia and Luke met a young girl with Down Syndrome. She loved dogs and promptly sat down. Luke gently crawled into her lap and snuggled! He really does love children and will be a perfect family pet soon!
