He's an Australian Shepherd that some jerks dumped at a campground, and we found him when we went jet skiing with Kelly and Casey one day. We talked to a few people at the campground, and found out that he had been dumped a few weeks earlier, and had been kicked around and even backed over by a boat trailer. He was hobbling around and I thought he was some old arthritic dog. We loaded him into their car and took him back to Gainesville with us, and he moved in with us. When I took him to the vet and had him x-rayed, I found out he had scabies and that his pelvis was broken, he had bad hip dysplasia and that one of his back legs had been broken a long time ago and since healed. We kept him until we could get him into Aussie rescue, where he went on to have a few surgeries and find a new home in South Carolina.

Whenever I finally get a dog for good, it will probably be another Aussie. They're really high energy, but so smart and loyal it's worth it. Besides, a high energy dog would get my butt off the couch daily!
