The other day I intercepted  a posting about cocker spaniels, asking Christine about Dogue de Bordeaux Rescue here in France. Well the result of this is that we have Charley, a cheeky chappie from SPA Moree who is now the dearest friend to our DDB and my OH's permanent shadow      He is a wonderful dog, he still needs a bit of feeding-up but he has taken to country life like an old hand running about in the long grass and playing with our girl DDB Harley.    Its wonderful to see the joy on his baggy old face! Thankyou Christine for making this possible !!!      Report

What Framboise hasn't explained is the amazing story to this.  She contacted me about Dogue de Bordeaux Rescue as their Harley was missing her friend Ed, a great loss to the family. So I had a look and what was the first Dogue de Bordeaux I found, a dog also called Harley (how many chances were there of that!) at the Morée refuge which I know as the Présidente, a wonderful woman I have known for several years helped me out with an elderly Afghan hound once, a wonderful refuge where there is really a great love of all the pets there. So Harley Morée (now Charley) joined Harley Framboise and family yesterday and from what I hear it's as if he has really found his home, having great games with Harley Framboise as soon as they met, then relaxing with her in front of the telly.  It's a really wonderful and incredible story as if it was meant to be. No Framboise, I thank you and all your lovely family and hope you will all be very happy together.    animalaidsaintaubin.monsite.orange.fr/ Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report

She has helped so many dogs and helped so many dogs and people come together, it is just incredible.  Framboise would love to see more photos of Charley in the future as he settles more, having said that it sounds as if he settled immediately.    Report
