#205 TRIGGER (Dalmation) Fort Wayne, IN - Sacramento, CA

Trigger #205, a Dalmation, 5 years, 65 pound Male began his unusual trip in Fort Wayne, IN, with team drivers Chris and Brandy P. Trigger was the personal pet of Reggie M's mother. When her mother passed away, the family he was placed with after Reggie returned to CA could no longer keep him. He is a special needs dog because he has had surgery in the past for urinary problems and is on special food.

Chris and Brandy were originally scheduled to pick up a load in Fort Wayne and had arranged to pick up Trigger. Then their load was cancelled, and they couldn't get there with their truck. They went far and above what is expected of our drivers by personally renting a car and driving from Chicago, IL, to Fort Wayne, IN.

Brandy fell in love with Trigger, but Trigger was initially scared of Chris and Brandy's little Yorkie. Trigger like to alternate between sleeping on the bunk with Brandy or sitting in the passenger seat whenever she drove.

Trigger arrived in Ontario, CA, where he was met by Cindy's fiance, Luke and taken on to Sacramento to be reunited with Cindy. A heart wrenching note about Trigger. He was close to Cindy's mom and at the exact moment of her death, he howled.

Subject: Update on Trigger, trucked from midwest to Southern CA

To: operationroger@operationroger.com

I just want to again thank you for making my Mother's death bed wish come true. Several months ago one of your truckers brought my Mother's companion Dalmatian from Indiana to Southern CA for me to find him a home. I am happy to report that he is being adopted this week since his weekend sleep over went well. They love Trigger and he has a big yard, 3 sweet children and a stay at home Mom to keep him company. It could not have worked out better.

In the rescue world it is very hard to place big dogs. Thank you for making this placement possible in my neck of the woods so I can keep track of Trigger. DogDad and Katmom rescue group, and yours truly, thank you very much for saving Trigger. If you ever need help in CA, please feel free to give me a call. I will gladly return the favor.

God bless all of you for taking care of God's creatures, big and small.

Reggie M
