Meet Duke!

Meet Duke. A 3 yr old bullmastiff boy. Duke has had a sad journey thus far. His owners surrendered him to animal control. His history says he lived outside during the day with another bully and was only let in the house for the night. He has scars on his face from getting beat up by another dog. Most likely they were bored to death out there alone and took it out on each other. They didn't bother to neuter them, nor give them heartworm preventative. They ended up at animal control. The other bully was adopted but Duke tested positive for heartworm. No one was jumping in line to adopt a dog that needed expensive medical care. Enter Mary Paetz... She hadn't even met him but started sending mass emails on a Monday saying his last day was the next day. He spent 30 days in doggie jail. She paid to bail him out of jail and transported him up to Lansing (and got him a burger on the way!). He came into bullmastiff rescue 6-4-2010.

He was pretty sad looking and confused. Couldn't even get a tail wag out of him. Just looked very drepressed. He got a bath, some food and some love. Now, 24 hours later, the tail doesn't stop, nor the kisses and the hand shakes. He is a perfect gentleman. Besides getting smacked around by the cats he has settled right in.

He will be starting his pre heartworm treatment 6-10-2010. Then a couple of weeks after that the harder stuff starts. So I decided to make him his own blog!
