#285 JUPITER (Great Dane) Ft. Worth, TX - Norco, CA
JUPITER #285, a male 2-3 y/o Great Dane weighing only 100# had been found wandering the streets of Ft. Worth.
Once it was determined he was chipped and the original rescue located, the task of getting him back ensued. Driver Sue W and her granddaughter, Aubrey, went to the shelter to get him.
As this was the first time the 15 y/o had helped in a transport, Aubrey was at first taken back by the size of Jupiter. He came up to about her hips, with his large head about to her waist. White he was large in size, he was literally skin and bones, very under weight. However, Jupiter won her over very quickly and they became nearly insepartable. Once he was comfortable in the back seat of the pickup, they hightailed it to Austin where they were to meet with a rescue from San Antonio who would keep him until he could be transported west. While they waited on the other party, Aubrey and Jupiter caused quite a stir among the people who walked along the path which ran along the lake. Aubrey got comments like, "got a saddle?" Jupiter and Aubrey walked in the water along the boat ramp and a couple of time, Aubrey had to grab hold of Jupiter to keep from falling into the lake. Jupiter took everything in stride. Tried as she did, Aubrey couldn't convince her mother to let her keep Jupiter.
