#186 TAIL/#187 TAILLESS (St.Bernard/Great Pyrness) Nacogdoches, TX - Prescott, AZ

TAIL #186 and TAILLESS #187, two male St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees mixes, both 5 mo old, weighing 50# each, were in the right place at the right time. Driver Mike W and Sheane, sister to his regular Blue Heeler companion, Dillon, just happened to be in the area and picked up the pups not long after they were posted on our website. Mike reports both were skittish, undernourished, and afraid of humans.

The moment the pups got on board, Sheane, herself around 50#, headed for the farthermost corner of the bunk she could find, totally unsure of what was happening. However, it didn't take long for her to warm up to the pups and all would play.

Mike worked with the pups by having them walk up to people at truck stops and his shippers and receivers. By the time the two reached their destination two days later, they were getting over their shyness.

Mike said he had gone in to eat and came back to the truck only to find himself face to face with three dogs, teeth bared. They weren't going to let him into the truck. He said "Hey, boys, it's just me." All three looked at him sheepishly as if to say, "Gee, Dad, we're just kidding."

Tailless loved to sit in the passenger seat and gave the New Mexico border patrol quite a start as Mike rolled through the inspection station. Later, while out for a walk, Tail spotted some quail and took out after them, dragging Mike behind him and giving Mike some exercise he hadn't planned on.

The pups were safely delivered to their new family. Mike reports 5-6 kids piled out of an SUV and were quite delighted with their new charges. While there were 3 cars that arrived to pick up the pups, all the kids wanted to ride with the dogs. Mike says that minivan was loaded to the hilt. He feels the two will be in a good home.
