Hello my good friends. I am participating for the third year in the row at the most generous contest: ADOPT! For all of you and, of course, for the judges here is my story told by mom:

He was one of the many stray dogs living in our neighborhood. He was captured by the dog-catchers and taken to a death camp. He was bailed out by one of our neighbors, an animal lover. Unfortunately the guy has a large family, kids and two German Shepherds so he sheltered him in his garage. We took pity on him and offered to take him in our apartment.

Comu' has been a popular figure for a couple of years in the surroundings apartment buildings that make up our neighborhood. During his walks he covered an unusually large area, so he had the opportunity to make many friends. Many people volunteered to feed him and occasionally to let him spend the night on the threshold of their apartments. But he also made some enemies. One of them reported him to the dog-catchers' company and requested his capture. After his release from the dog-catchers, my husband and I decided to adopt him. During our first walks with him we were happy to notice how many people in the street and in the park greeted us and congratulated us for adopting him and offering him the opportunity of a new life. His popularity actually surpassed our imagination. Everyday more and more people stop to bow to him when they meet us in the street and keep asking him: How are you? How does it feel to have a master? How nice and clean you are. And they tell us: We've known him for long, he used to see us to our place and what a good dog he has always been.

I'm telling you, my friends, every day in my new home is a party. Today, May 6th, I'm celebrating 715 days since I found my furever home. I wish that all the stray dogs in this world were as lucky as I am.
