#233 TIGER (Pit) Bedias, TX - Cordova, TN

TIGER #233 a brindle Pit, 3 y/o, 53#, began his journey in the Irving, TX, kill shelter from where he was rescued by Ginger B of Tuckers Tag Along. Tiger was first fostered in Grand Prairie before being driven down to Bedias to Regina T, of Taeger's Rescue, a layover home for Operation Roger. Regina had stepped forward to act as a foster for Tuckers Tag Along.

Driver Joerg T picked up Tiger from his wife, Regina. On the trip toward Fort Worth, Tiger decided to get under Joerg's feet and sit down on the brake pedal causing a very interesting situation. Another incident followed when they went through a guard shack. When the guard came out, Tiger met him at the truck's window, climbing over Joerg. The guard hurried back into the shack and refused to come out again.

Joerg renamed Tiger "Hooch," after a mischievous dog in a movie he had seen. Following a trip from Texas to Louisiana to North Carolina to Ohio, Tiger finally arrived in West Memphis, TN, to meet his new "Dad" Eric H. Joerg had arrived early at a truck stop where he was met by driver Sue W.

Unable to reach Eric, who was away on a trip but due back that afternoon, we began making inquiries into possible temporary quarters for Tiger when it became past time for Joerg to leave to continue his run. Sue called a former driver, Liz C, who promptly arrived to help.

As arrangement were being made, Eric returned to the area. Everything worked out for Tiger when Eric arrived from Cordova, TN. Tiger immediately took to Eric and when Eric took off running, Tiger was with him every step of the way, fully enjoying his new companion. Joerge, who had bonded with Tiger/Hootch, broke out into a wide smile knowing Tiger would be in a good home.
