agerard Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I write a dog column in Alexandria, Virginia named Off the Leash. I recently talked with a woman who fosters dogs for an all-breed rescue group. She told me this great story of picking up what she called "an ugly, black dog," only to take it home, trim and wash it and find out she actually had an adorable, lovable Cairn Terrier! The full article about her and her fostering is here: "Even Ugly Dogs Find a Home." (the dog pictured is not Mitzi, the cairn.) Thought cairn terrier lovers might especially appreciate the story so I thought I'd pop on here and post the link. Hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agerard Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I wish there could have been pictures! Me too! Unfortunately, Debby didn't have any photos and I don't think she is still in touch with Mitzi's owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agerard Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 While I'm on here I'll link another cairn terrier story as well. Last year I met a really adorable and friendly cairn named Coco. She was one of my first "Dogs of the Week." Here is her story. Sitting on the porch during a beautiful Del Ray day with Coco, a 12-year-old Cairn and Border terrier mix, is truly an experience in popularity. It is like sitting next to a star, as every neighborhood dog and owner that walks by stops to say hello. But this is what every day is like for Coco. "She's one of the few divas on the street," says neighbor Patsy Ann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hheldorfer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 What great, cheerful stories - just what I needed! There's so much frightfully awful news in the world. Thanks for reminding me that there are still good, generous folks on this earth (and great dogs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindrop Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It never ceases to amaze me that for all the tough shell I carry around me - I melt when I read stories of good-will and dogs. Guess I have a soft spot for puppers and wonderful people doing good in the world. Husband and dog missing ...25 cents reward for dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
