Customer service is more important these days than ever. In a country where creativity-challenged real estate developers build shopping centers and restaurants that look exactly like the shopping centers and restaurants five miles down the road, the employees' selling of themselves is the only way to stand out among the sameness. The menu at the Chili's here is the same as the menu of the Chili's over there, but you might pick one over the other because so-and-so never fills your drinks and the place reeks of b.o.
So when the Petite Filet narrowed our dog search to three potential pets, she was shocked that an employee at one of the shelters called a dog there "dumber than dirt." It was at a municipal shelter, and they do euthanize animals that cannot be placed after a certain time. The "dumber than dirt" dog had been there since Jan. 31, and so it was only a matter of time for him.
First, we visited Oreo (he's a a city-owned shelter with a no-kill policy unless an animal is ill or aggressive). He is a pretty dog, very loving – but painfully shy. In short, a dog with issues. We spent considerable time trying to draw him from his shell with no luck. Being optimists, we moved on to the next shelter without necessarily marking him off our short list.
That's where we met a no-name stray who, according to Mr. Personality, is "dumber than dirt." We noticed right away the energy ol' no-name has, and he was friendly and outgoing to me, the PF and the Cutlet (who warmed to him immediately). We spent nearly an hour playing fetch at the shelter's dog run, petting him, running around and sizing each other up. It was instantly clear that this dog, who looks to be a full-blooded Border collie, had a lot of intelligence over the ground he walked on.
It was only after he had charmed his way into our lives that we learned the dog was already on the shelter's list to be put down. We did not decide on this guy because of his impending death sentence. And we'll never tell him we saved him. He's really still just a pup, and shouldn't have to hear such heavy things so early in his life.
Because in a way, he saved us. The Cutlet came up with the name "Max" out of the blue – none of his favorite TV shows has a character with that name. So Max it is.
Max looks more like an Oreo than Oreo did. This dog looks like that one from the movie....can't remember the name of it...Homeward Bound maybe? Ah well...good looking dog.
Oh happy Max day! This story warmed my heart all damned weekend!
He looks so friendly and cute AND you got to do a good deed....perfect!
Max' a beautiful pup, and a real lucky one too! Now I also want a dog....
On Valentine's Day 2004 my fiance (now husband) adopted me a beagle named Max to keep me company while he was away (he's military). Then last November we adopted another beagle whose name was also Max (since changed to Sam for reasons of imaginable confusion).
Max is a good name for a pooch!
Congrats on the new addition to the family!!!
You did the right thing. :)
He looks to be a perfect match!! I'm happy that the dog hole in your life is now filled.
From one dog lover to another...happy tails to you!!! Congrats on the new family member, he's beautiful.
What a cutie! Perhaps the shelter employee was just projecting his own intelligence level onto the dog. =)
I LOVE HIM! He is so pretty, with such a nice smile. LOVE Border Collies. Sweet and smart and loving, with just enough bossiness to make them funny and keep things interesting.
Though I am partial to Australian cattle Dogs, he is a cutie! Border collies are out of control though- my dad has one who he affectionately refers to as "the dog with A.D.D!"
welcome to your new little family member!!
