Donating YT 500 Club Member | The Odd Couple....Forrest and Louis I've had numerous foster dogs and normally my gang always accepts them but I wouldn't ever say great connections are made between any of them--that is, until Forrest came. Louis (our rescue poodle) has for some reason decided he is... Forrest's one and only guardian/best buddy. At first I thought Louis fascination was a food thing, bc Louis looooves food and Forrest gets to keep a food dish full at all times (bc he is so malnourished). Now, I'm not sure what it is about Forrest that has Louis so obsessed....but he is! Louis started out just laying next to Forrest's ex-pen, he wouldn't leave, even for the normal things Louis loves - like treats! After a couple of days of this, dh finally moved a bed next to the ex-pen so Louis would at least have a soft place to rest while he stood guard. I'll go to let the gang out and Louis will NOT go out the door until I tell him "I didn't forget Forrest", then Louis will go out but he waits on the patio step while I carry Forrest out....then and only then will Louis go outside with us. Louis used to love to run and play outside and still does but not until after he has stayed on the blanket with Forrest and I for quite awhile. Then he will run off and play but always checks back in to see if Forrest missed him. I've always thought Louis was a more sensitive dog than others I've had, but think now he is very intuitive also - I think he knows Forrest needed a friend. The laws of physical attraction are strange indeed!

| That is just so heart warming! It's amazing how they form those kind of connections and so quickly. It's so touching! He is his little friend and guardian, it's nice to have such a sweet story to read!

| Oh Jen, what a special story. You really should start a journal about this special bond. Everyday when you go outside you could write something in your little book...I am guessing it will make a very beautiful story. They look so precious together. While it would be wonderful to say, you will remember all of it...no you are getting close to my age and ..... what did you say your name is????

The best news is that I've seen Forrest walk several times now - and more than just a couple of steps. He walks mostly outside though, so I do believe he is curious about all the new sights and sounds out there and tries to get up to explore.
