They found him in a high kill shelter and took him to the Vet, but his leg could not be saved. I took him in so he could heel in my home instead of a kennel. He is everything you would want in a German Shep. Smart, protective, loving, and very obediant , He has no idea he only has 3 legs I am fostering a 9month German Shepherd dog from a Wonderfull rescue called Westside German Shepherd rescue in Los Angeles, Calif.

I heard the horrors of the little guy who was determined to live despite his horrific injury. Fortunately, I had the good fortune to see Drake in action, when he was still a puppy, while visiting my sister who lives next door to Janel. Drake was amazing and, in his own little doggie way, a splendid teacher to all of us. He simply had the attitude, "So I had a rough beginning; doesn't mean the here and now has to be rough." I watched him play in the backyard spinning and racing around with full vigor and seeking no sympathy for anyone. I think he truly packed more living into his short years than many people do who have long lives. Blessings on Janel for opening her heart to Drake and in the end having the courage to say goodbye at the right time. I'm sure it was exactly the way Drake would have chosen, and yes, in his own after life he is running full throttle, glancing back to look for Janel and his other friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss...he will always be there in your heart. My white cat "Frankie" (13 1/2 yrs. old) went & joined Drake on Tuesday...kidney failure. I had Frank from 5-6wks of age...a stray of course. Drake is romping across the Rainbow Bridge to be with the others that have gone before us.
