So I went over to a friends placde tonight...well, last night...it's 12:30am now...went to help move things, he just moved in.
I'm pretty drunk just now but I wanna tell you all about something.
At night, late, m'self, James anf my girl Anna , we went for a beer walk. Came back, and there's this medium sized dog walkin' on the street...towards us. Soon enough, I understood it wasn't there for a fight.
The dog is WAY underweight, like, all ribs and spine, and very young, I'd say under 2 years...very friendly, but scared all the same, VERY apprehensive, cowering at our feet every time it approached, very jumpy with sudden movement of sound.
Now, this dog is beautiful, absolutely human friendly demeanor, and very quiet...such expressive eyes, tan coat with black about the eyes and muzzle.
At a glance, I'd say she was a mastiff crossbreed of some kind, and for a dog built like that to be underweight is simply unnacceptable. We took er back to my friends place, and almost immediately she appeared to be way less stressed, and happy, not to mention, she likes me, and LOVES my gf...we're both rather fond of her.
I'm in somewhat of a dilemma...see, due to someone being attacked (probably a bad owner), by a terrier dog of some kind a couple months ago, my govt has passed an absolutely ridiculous law whereby certain breeds of dog that are able to lock their jaws, are to be terminated by law...it has affected more than one species. I won't even comment on how stupid I think this is, but it IS wrong.
Problem - this dog happens to be one of them.
So, I can't look for it's owner, I can't report it to the police or our version of the humane society either, for risk of it beging repoted, and killed. I can not stand for that possibility, nor will I - AND in addition, I woul NEVER hand this beautiful dog back to it's former irresponsible family, no way in HELL.
So folks, looks like I have a new dog.
I'll post some pics as soon as possible.

So...seems like it was fate.
