When I was in TN on my road trip, I found this dog at the camp ground where I had been staying. It had been running around there for a couple weeks, according to the owner of the place, and was obviously starving. It wouldnt come up to anyone, but one time I was riding the owners golf cart across the property, and the dog suddenly ran up and jumped in my lap. At first we thought it was a he, because its belly was so matted with hair, but when I had it groomed at home we found out it was a she, lol.
The poor thing had been spayed, but the stitches had never been removed and had absessed and her hair had grown into them. I cant imagine how painful it was to walk, because every stepped pulled on the hair that was stuck to the nasty stitches.
Shes a great dog, very smart and very sweet. We arent sure what kind of mix she is, but she has a sent patch halfway down her tail, so shes probably got wolf in her somewhere. That would also explain her very unusual eyes, and the splay footed way she walks.
Anyway, here are the pics. I took her for a run on my ranch, and afterwards took her to a stock tank to drink. She jumped in and swam around for like 20 mins. I couldnt get her out, she wouldnt come up to me, lol. She even jumped back in after I dragged her out once.
