My dog

Ladies and Gentlmen I present to you, Tobe. I felt I captured his essence here in this pic so I decided to make this my profile pic. My dog means the world to me. He is 4 years old but my family rescued him from the pound when he was just 9 months old. When I say rescue, I mean rescue because dogs are killed at the pound everyday. It was not easy, we had a family dog years ago, but when Lily was stolen from us in '97 it took us 4 years to get over the loss and get up the nerve to look for another one. When my brother found him in a pound all dirty in a cage, he knew this is the one. The people at the pound said that they picked him up on the streets traveling with a pack of dogs, he was definetly the one. When the day came when Tobe was available to adopt, there were other families there trying to adopt him as well. There was a bidding war but we had already agreed that we would fight for this dog. We won, and my brother brought him home shortly thereafter. That was when my brother decided that he should be named Tobe. His full name would be M.Tobe. The meaning behind his name is simple, "Meant to be", M.Tobe for short. That is his story, I only wish everyone could have a relationship with a pet the way I have with my Tobe.
