Here's the happy ending story of Buck:
After much debate on whether or not to put our cats through possible turmoil, we decided to look for a dog. We decided to look at T.L.C. first, because we have heard good things about them. We have never gotten an animal from the shelter before, so we thought that we would give it a try. We needed to find the "perfect" dog that would not only get along with our two cats, but would also get along with our three-year old son. We didn't want a puppy. The idea of house training, puppy chewing, and potty training with a child seemed a bit overwhelming to us. We are confident that we have found that "perfect" dog for our family. When we were on our way home with our new addition, one particular name out of many spoken, made his head turn and his ears perk. That name is Buck. When we asked to see Buck at the shelter they told us that Buck had been in an accident. He had scrapes, wounds, and his front leg had to be put back into socket. When the volunteer brought Buck out to meet us, his tail was between his legs and he didn't want to walk. He was literally scared to death. We were also informed that when the rescuer found Buck on the road, Buck rested his chin on his shoulder. After hearing that, and spending time with him, we knew that Buck had a wonderful disposition.It's been over 4 weeks since we've brought Buck into our home. He's had practice at wagging his tail and now it goes so fast, it's a wonder that it stays on him. We can now say with confidence that he has completed our family. The cats have accepted him and our three-year old son and Buck are best of friends. Buck has healed nicely and is now at 100%. He is a very playful dog that loves chasing a tennis ball. He is also a very fast runner. We know without a doubt that Buck really appreciates that he was adopted. He is very protective and when he looks at you it's like his eyes are saying "thanks, I owe you one." He then proceeds to give wet, sloppy kisses on your face. We would like to thank all the people involved in Buck's rescue and also to everyone at T.L.C.
