	Buddy is a great example of how to open you heart and home to an older dog. Ellen Riley took this dog in after he was diagnosed with cancer. The shelter said the owner's that relinquished him said he was 9 years old -- I am suspect of their age estimate. He is going strong and is a great companion. Buddy has been working in a group home for challenged adults and has been a great asset to the clients.
	BIS AKC Grand CH Paisley Choco Chip Brownie Delite, CGC  Call Name: Pauli -- or Spot. She was #5 Dalmatian in All Breed Standing in 2010. Check our her Facebook page and "Like" her there!
	BISS AKC CH / UKC Grand CH Owling's One Tough Hombre, CGC Bandit is a lovely example of a Labrador. He is a Best in Specialty winning dog and a fantastic companion. You can learn more about him at McKilt.
	UKC Grand CH Owling's McKilt Trifecta, CGC Trey is a wonderful companion and shares his house with another Labrador and a Dalmatian. You can see some great photos at  McKilt.
	AKC/UKC/Int'l CH Owling's Remember Me is owned by our friends Baywynd Labradors. Blade was one of the Top 20 Labrador Retrievers in the United States in 2005. He is a funny dog and was great fun to work with.
	AKC/UKC CH Dannik's Baywynd High Noon Cooper is Blade's son. This was a fun dog to show.
	Rico Suave belongs to our friends that left a farm in western Wisconsin for small town living in western Minnesota. There seems to be a theme of west in their lives.
	Braveheart Cairn Terrier owned by Carol Maschke. These are photos from the photo shoot at Target. Your dog can be an animal actor too.
	Bandit belongs to our friend Beth. In the realm of be careful what you wish for, Beth had been talking about how much she liked Corgi's and within two days one was being walked past our house that needed a new home. Long story short, Bandit has a new home.

	Bear came to us via some folks that knew we had Labradors. He and his litter mates were found on a screened in porch in northern Minnesota. Bear has had lots of media exposure including being the only Hanukkah Hound in the Star Tribune Holiday Pet Spread.
	Int'l CH PR Mystic Banshee, CGC A happy, demanding and sneaky dog with an opposable nose gave him access to everywhere. His offspring have been excellent show and working dogs and have produced wonderful examples of Chinook dogs. Banshee's Pedigree
	RR Honcho's Black Phantom, CD, CGC, TDI was a great companion and taught many people about dogs being able to sense seizures in people before they occur. He and his travel companion Moses got lots of television and print time for these abilities that are more accepted now, almost 15 years later.  It is heart warming to look back at all the letters from schools, group homes, long term care facilities, hospice facilities as well as doctors, medical schools and such seeing how much this dog touched people's lives.
	Hoppa spent a great deal of her life working with developmentally delayed adults in a home setting. This is another dog that showed people the value of the human canine bond. Not only did she share love unconditionally, she also shared a sense of spirit and dedication that surpassed her own health issues.
	Moses Malone, CGC, TDI was another second chance dog. He was being put in a crate to be taken and put to sleep when I saw him at a training center. I asked about his history and why he was destined to be destroyed. Apparently the people who lived with him thought he was violent and dangerous to blonde women and all children. Not too unexpectedly, it was the people with the problem, not the dog. I ended up taking him back to Minnesota with me where he was a fantastic demo dog for Seizure Alert Dogs, Assistance Dogs and general dog learning opportunities.
	Toten, CGC came to us in a strange way. Another "short list" for being put to sleep. This dog had been badly abused by some unknown moron in North Dakota. I was living there while in school and happened upon an animal shelter when driving back from visiting friends in northern Minnesota. There he was, full grown and about 43-pounds. Not a pretty picture. The people at the shelter said that their kennel help were uncomfortable with this dog and that he was unpredictable. Again, not a bad dog, but a dog from bad circumstances.
	Rascal was another stray that came to stay. An over the road truck driver had her in his cab and when he got to Minneapolis, dumped her in the parking lot at a moving company. It was her lucky day as my father picked her up and brought her home.
