Rescue Story: Hambone was found by some kids practicing football at Decatur High School. He ran on to the field and hung out with them until practice was over. The kids took him across the street to Village Vets of Decatur and from there he was placed into Animal Action Rescue. We met Hambone at an adoption day, where he won Kelvin over by sitting on his lap the moment Kelvin sat down.
First day home

Photographers Note: The first thing I noticed about Hambone is what a striking dog he is, especially in the sunshine. He has the most gorgeous amber eyes and his fur has hints of red and dare I say aubergine. He really is a gorgeous boy. As Lisa mentioned, if you saw him from a distance you might think he was tough but he was just as sweet as can be. He came over to greet me when I entered their house while the family was finishing getting ready and just hung out with me while I scratched his head. One of the reasons I chose the 2nd photo of him with his head down in what I call the typical Pit Bull "Seal pose" versus some of the others where his tongue was hanging out, was because of his expression. With the gray muzzle and a few gray hairs popping up around his face, you could just see a content dog that is growing old with a family he loves. That serene expression just said it all.
