Mel is the stuff country songs are made of.
He was a stray dog on the streets of Houston.
He was run over by a train.
While he was in the hospital, the rest of his family was found and rescued. Some immediately got parvo. (They are okay; no worries.)
Mel did have to get a leg amputated because of the incident with the train.
Out of the hospital, he ran away from his foster home ON THREE LEGS.
A tenacious dog rescuer tracked him through the woods and brought him back.
He’s traveled to Colorado now. I suspect Mel will end up with his own reality show and a pack of admirers. (I am among them.)
On 2.26.18, ETA: Here’s a follow-up on Mel. I think he’s found a good home. =)
Can you ship Mel to England, please?
Thank you.
If anybody can stow away on a ship crossing the Atlantic, it’s Mel. Keep an eye out for him to show up in your garden some morning…
