My husband and I were heart broken after our Dachshund Bart passed away. He was 16 and spent his last 1 1/2 years in a wheelchair. After his injury he was such a champ & developed quite a following in our area. We loved and cared for him best we could but it was such hard work. So after he passed, we decided to take a long break before getting a dog again. But I couldn't help looking on petfinder at every chance, and THERE SHE WAS ! Ms. Molly was a Wirehair Dachsund just like our Bart. She had the saddest eyes. She was 250 miles away in N.J. But we called anyway. The organization that had her usually didn't send dogs so far away, but they knew someone near us involved in rescue work. And that person remembered us and our Bart from the Vet office. We were so lucky. Everything magically fell in place and Ms Molly really needed us. She'd been a backyard breeder kept in an airline crate, in a shed with no windows, no heat & no air conditioning.
She is the sweetest girl in the world and now has the happiest eyes. We think she is our gift from heaven for all the hard work we did in caring for Bart.
