It would be interesting to know her genetics. She's rather different looking. A little bit of Dingo maybe?

Dogs instinctively know who the best people are and they gravitate toward them. I am so in awe of people who go above and beyond to help animals. It helps to restore my faith in mankind, which desperately needs restoration these days.

Thanks once again, catbyte, for your videos.

She found her people and convinced them she should be their dog in spectacular fashion. She's beautiful. Out of curiosity I would definetly have her DNA tested.

This reminds me so much of the true story "Arthur" by Mikael Lindnord.

who followed Dion Leonard for over 70 miles through the Gobi Desert during an ultra marathon race. There's a book about it, "Finding Gobi." Gobi lives in Scotland now.

Her determination to stay with him over all those miles without ever having known him, it makes me think there is really something so much more than what we can see. I had ordered the book this morning.
