I lived in the middle of know were way out in the woods. My drive way was ¼ mile long and my closest neighbor was over a mile away. One night our over sized lab elkhound mix named Lurch (110 lbs) barked all night I went out several times but didn’t see anything. The next morning he was still barking and now that it was daylight I felt safer and went out into the driveway as I did this a little dog the size of a squirrel came out from under my car. She was so scared and so small and Lurch had barked at her all night which is a good thing as it kept the coyotes away so she was not eaten. I put up an advertisement in the local paper for a found dog with no description so if some one called they would have to identify her and then I would know I had the right person. I didn’t get on call and braced on this if feel someone dumped her. I say this because after having her a few days we found she was sick and needed surgery. We had no one claim her and she needed medical attention so we got her the surgery and she was with us for 10 years until she passed away. Lurch and Tinker were best buds and she died from a broken heart after he passed at the age of 15. I no longer have big dog and now the three bundles of love are all Yorkies. I guess what they say is true “once you go Yorkie you never go back”
