I consider Harold Snell a guardian angel of dogs, except in the summer, they are companion dogs, riding with him as he goes through the county in his giant trucks and tractors (this one is temporarily parked in our backyard.)
He opened me up to the idea of a smaller dog (then came Bud).
His dogs are lovely and good companions for him. The bigger the trucks, the smaller the dog. When I first met Harold, he had five dogs who traveled around with him in cool weather. His whole family is just like him. They rescue dogs all the time.
The big men in trucks seem harsh, and they know more than I do, but dogs seem to reveal their kind and soft souls.
Most of Harold’s dogs are rescue dogs (one was adopted from an Amish farm in the north that didn’t want to keep him because he had dysfunctional hips. Harold brought Panda today so I could meet them; she was a calm and sweet creature. The new rescue, also a Corgi, was sitting behind Panda, still shy in her new residence. She will have a good and long life.
Panda rises on a soft carpet. She loves to be patted and scratched. I admit to falling in love with this dog.
Harold is working on our water and plumbing problems. He works hard and has the heart of a lion.
Jon — THOSE SNELLS !!!!!!!!!!! and their huge hearts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please give PANDA and the others hugs and kisses from Santa Monica, CA.
Thank you for your kind words, Jon. Pandora is “extra” on a lot of levels but she loves people, esp people that love her right back. Appreciate all you do for dogs in general.
The border collie Nic that you helped me place is living his best life in Connecticut. Just got some new pics and a nice long email from his mom & my friend, Kathy. She is still smitten with him. I thank you again for letting me reach out via your radio show to help him find his forever home. Much love!!
