Once upon a time, many moons ago, Janet rescued a black and white male dog who had been abandoned in a yard in Longton without food for several days. She found out that my husband and I had just lost a dog due to an accident, so she told us this dog would probably be available. We did get the dog and named him "Digger" (another story) and he was with us for many years until last January when we had to put him to sleep because he had cancer. Now I know that Janet comes by her "rescue" nature genetically.
