Time line: A little over a year ago Everest was a stray
in KCMO.
Everest was taken off the street by a lady that feared for his
welfare, he was advertised as found but no takers so while she
looked for the local Saint rescuer she took him to a vet clinic to
be boarded.
He was adopted by a vet tech working there and lived with she and
her family for over a year until a pending divorce and relocation
mandated that Everest be rehomed.
I was contacted for the rescue, did my evaluation, had an approved
ap on hand that had just missed out on two adoptables that I had,
offered Everest as he fit the profile needed for the match up with
his new family, He was accepted, delivered and welcomed with open
arms. All this within the last month for the most
part.
LAST NIGHT: Below is a blow by blow account of
why this time line/adoption might have been "meant to
be."
Oh my
God! We had to write and tell you both what Everest did last
night for our family. Dan and I were sitting outside having
dinner on our patio with Everest on his leash at my feet. I
looked over at the neighbors yard and saw a pitbull running at
large bothering the little neoghbor dogs and trying to jump into
their fence. I yelled to Dan to put Everest in the house
right away to try to avoid a bad situation. Just as Dan had
Everest half-way in our front door the pit noticed and raced over
and tried to attack Dan, Everest and I. The pit tried to
bite Dan and get into our house. I screamed and our HERO
turned and showed the pit who was boss of this kingdom!
Everest has never shown any aggression towards anythign nor anyone
but thank god he did last night. As soon as Dan told Everest
to stop he let go of the pits neck( pit ended up with a cut above
his eye and on his neck). Dan told me to run with Everest to
the bar up the road and call the police as he grabbed the pit and
held on for dear life so we could get away. I was at the top
of the hill so I had no idea if or how bad Dan had been
bit. As soon as I took his leash, Everest camled
down and took off with me and wouldnt leave my side for the rest
of the night. The police came and commended Everst for saving
us from some serious pit bites and they took the pit off to be
quarentined for 10 days. The pit is current on al his shots
we found out, so we have nothin to worry about with our
hero. I think all the townspeple came out to see what the
rucuss was when 3 police cars and my screaming was all
about. Everest got so much attention and I think he
will be sick of hearin "good boy" for quite some time! There
is goin to be a parade for what is called "Eagle Fun Days" and we
were told to have him be in it cuz of what he did. I am so
glad that our children were not here last night nor the other 2
dogs were out. The three sheriffs that came out said if we
ever wanted to get rid of him (deffinitely NOT) or needed a
dog sitter, let them know!
Everst our HERO
and now more of a town celeb!
Thought you
would love to hear what a wonderful dog he is-- yeh we knew you
both already knew that but this is one more
reason!
Dan and Nicole
