Bud Is Famous Now: Photo By Dr. Jonathan Bradshaw
Well, it seems like Bud is already a bit famous, no wonder he posed so gracefully for this photo. He seems to like his own image. He is still recovering from surgery at the South Arkansas Veterinary Hospital, where he was neutered yesterday.
This photo appeared in my inbox this evening.
This is from the clinic treating his heartworm, and the heartworms of others.
Dr. Bradshaw is deeply committed to saving dogs in need, large and small. Today, he put Bud up on the digital screen in front of the clinic. He looks good up there, I think he likes the camera and a bit of fame.
If so, Bud is coming to the right place. My camera and I are eager to meet him. I appreciate the good words from Dr.Bradshaw, we know about famous dogs here.
I have been running weekly photos of needy and homeless dogs being fostered and put up for adoption by the Friends Of Homeless Animals (FOHA/RI), where i found and adopted Bud.
I like being famous in Southern Arkansas, it might not make me rich but it does make me happy. I’ve had a number of well known dogs, some adopted and/or “rescued”, Bud joins a proud line. I won’t call him a rescue dog or say he is abused, he doesn’t need to think of himself in that way any longer, neither do I.
Carol Johnson sent me up some photos of the giant dog transport truck that will take Bud and some other dogs up North when he is cured of heartworm (photo below).
The FOHA isn’t kidding. The FOHA dogs travel first class.
This is an FDA-approved dog transport van, temperature controlled, with smooth, clean and safe riding. Come on home, Bud, we are waiting for you. And thanks, Dr. Bradshaw, for being so thoughtful and generous. He’s the real deal.
Next stop, the Today Show. About 45 days to go, if anybody wants to count. I, of course, am above that.
I’m so much a fan of Bud already. What a grand picture for such a fine dog. Had never considered the breed until I met Gus on your blog. I very much enjoy your pictures and observations (opinions duly noted as well). Your blogs about the refugees is very educational.
Thanks Vella..
So glad Bud is doing well. Also glad you found the right rescue group and are adopting a shelter dog. I have been a volunteer for a no kill shelter in NJ for over 18 years and I have seen so many lovable dogs come and go through our doors, I agree some groups are impossible to deal with. Can’t wait to Bud joins the farm family and looking forward to reading all about his new chapter in his life. Thanks again for adopting.
Thanks Kathy, I’ve rescued many dogs and other animals and bought many dogs from good breeders…they also need good homes, and I’ve been happy every time I did either. There are many good ways to get a dog and in a sense, every dog is a rescue no matter where they come from.
