Rescue Story: Dink was featured on the Friends to the Forlorn website as Professor Humperdink. Videos of his rescue were on YouTube. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF1V72F7XN8) This precious little guy had a broken jaw and bite wounds around his neck at approx. 10 weeks old. I immediately knew he had to be a part of this family. Once he went to a foster, I started the adoption process. Since adopting Dink, I met and married Ken. They are terrific together.
Welcome Home Dink!
What is your favorite pastime as a family? He loves to chase squirrels! He is not fast enough to get one, but he is dedicated to keeping them off the bird feeders. We enjoy taking him to Home Depot, Lowes or any other pet friendly place. He attracts a lot of attention!
What is life like since you rescued Dink? Dink came to me with this wonderful outgoing personality. He brings a smile to all of us on a daily basis.
Photographers Note: You just can't help fall in love with Dink at first sight. With his crooked smile and those soulful eyes. He is just as sweet as can be. Due to his broken jaw, his tongue falls out that side of his mouth when he is hot, which is even more adorable. As soon as I sat on the ground to take some photos, he assumed that it meant he should get in my lap for some cuddles. Lori happen to mention he is the laziest dog and a real couch potato, which became apparent when we tried to get him to run around a bit....it was too hot and just too much work for Dink! Instead we opted for some adorable poses! Lori and Ken, have two other pit mixes at home that we didn't feature because one is a little shy with new people and the other, in her words " is like having a tornado on a string". I thought that was a pretty hilarious description! Also, goes to show how every dog is an individual and have their own "thing".
