Animal Rescue

This past Saturday, my girlfriend and I were planning on going to the Fire-Island Lighthouse to attend the annual ghost story telling at the base if the actual lighthouse. As far as design is concerned, light houses are so interesting and beautiful... any way back to the story. So as we are driving we see a dog on the side of the road, the service road to sunrise highway. Cars were whizzing past and almost hit the dog. We stopped and got out and tried to get the dog to come to us to see if it had a collar, it did not.  We checked the surrounding area for people looking for a lost dog, there was no one. No signs no nothing. W decided to take the dog along with us to the lighthouse because we were already on our way. She never pooped/peeped/ or barked once in the car. That night we brought her back to my girlfriends house to get her all cleaned up. It took two baths to clean all the dirt and grime off of her. While washing the dog I noticed that she was infested with fleas. She was in pretty bad shape. I cut her hair and tried to get out as many fleas as i could. The next morning we went to Petco to get her flea medicine and shampoo. Again i bathed her and took care of her. We even bought her a little sweater. Seeing as it was Halloween and my girlfriend and i were being the dead Dorothy and Scare Crow, she was a perfect addition to our costumes, we now had a little Toto. On Monday we took her to the vet top get checked out and scanned to see if she had chip. Not only was she in great health and chip-less, the vet said that she was clearly abandoned and left for dead. Lucky for us we found her. She is now an official member of the family, her name is Minnie and shes the sweetest little puppy ive ever seen. People who mistreat animals need to be shot.
