Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 2030337, member: 57"] Hey RMH...I got a great mastiff story for you. My wife volunteers at Animal Humane. So a few years ago she was walking through the kennel, and she hears a dog crying it's heart out. The dog was a mastiff named Malia. Turns out that the people at intake said when the owner turned her in, they said it was the most heart wrenching surrender they had ever seen. The gentlemen was moving and the new apartment would not accept pets. So anyways, Malia was making such a fuss, that my wife was conecrned that she would be put down for disrupting the kennel, so we decided to foster the poor girl to try and help with her transition. Anyways, Malia, was sweet as could be, but she was quite the escape artist. First day we left her at home we left her in a big xpen. Well, I get back to the house & there is Malia greeting me at the door along with my dogs. She had simply bulled her way through & knocked over the xpen. Of course, it is always a concern to leave a new dog alone with our dogs. So, next day when we leave the house, we crate her. It was one of those crates that folds in on the ends. Unbelieveably, I get home that night and there is Malia greeting me again. How she escaped that crate is still a mystery to me to this day. So, anyways, we try to make her heal from her loss of owner. She was really no trouble except that she drank water like crazy & did severe drooling into the water bowl, after which my dogs would not drink from that bowl. Other than that she was just a sweet ol girl, but you could tell her heart was still with her original owner. Anyways, we had dear Malia for a couple of weeks, and then it was time to bring her back to the kennel. Turns out her original owner couldn't bear to be wo her. He checked every day, and once Malia appeared on the for adoption list at the website he zoomed in to get her. What could say more about the love and loyalty in that dog and presumably her breed between dog and human. [/QUOTE]
