so the olympics held in Sochi really did
highlight the plight of Street dogs that
existed in so cheap I understood that
they lived in the streets and I knew
that there were exterminating the dogs
while they were building the Olympic
sites this is an animal that clearly
knows it was on the knife’s edge and now
it doesn’t have to worry as much for one
thing it makes me feel lucky really
fortunate that I had the opportunity to
do something for him there was a huge
demand for rehoming some of these dogs
here in United States when we first went
to the shelter this dog was known by the
name Bosh so the great irony is that
when we went there we didn’t really know
what we were looking for other than a
rescue dog that would get along well
with our own I just saw this one dog but
just I don’t know he reached out in my
heart night it was just like love at
first sight somebody had opened the top
gate for Sochi and her head just kind of
popped out and I was walking by she
started looking in my hand and as I was
leaving she put her head right into my
hand as if to tell me that she didn’t
want me to leave and that was when I
knew that I knew she was it she’s my
good girl so Jesus it also makes me feel
just all warm inside cuz he’s just so
happy and I don’t know but I don’t think
that in his past he was always that
happy and now he is this dog who we have
now named d’Artagnan because he’s he was
a bit of a musketeer he’s a his ears
don’t come up exactly the way that maybe
a well-bred dog would have his ears be
and he’s a very cheerful dog and if
you’ve ever seen the three musketeers or
the famous four Musketeers the fourth
one is d’Artagnan and d’Artagnan is a
character and this this little dog is a
character he is he’s got a little bit of
swagger and he’s got a lot of humility
and he just seemed like a d’Artagnan to
us I think so she’s special in every way
particularly she has what
some people would call a bum leg I think
it adds to her charm it doesn’t stop her
from doing anything in fact I put her in
the car in the backseat of car that was
loading the bomb my trunk up and she
jumped right out of my back window my
car window chasing a squirrel and that’s
when I realized that her leg is probably
okay there’s concern of them competing
with the dogs that are in this country
already awaiting homes I’ve gotten
people that have outright told me you
know why would you adopt a dog from
Russia there’s so many dogs here in the
United States that need help I feel like
you can never be upset if you’re trying
to help a dog you can’t be upset about
anybody ever doing that because dogs
think they rely on us I didn’t pick so G
she picked me so regardless of where
she’s from she’s my dog this was a dog
that wanted to let you know very early
on count on me i’m i’m i’m a good family
member
specifically because of the situation
with bosh and adopting him from the
shelter I really want to work at a
shelter and you know how about those
dogs and give them hope comfort one of
the journalists that interviewed me fell
in love with one of the other dogs that
was in that shelter not a sochi dog one
of the other dogs that was in the kennel
and they just happened to walk by it and
they went and put in an application for
adoption of that dog while the sochi
dogs were arriving in that so that’s
just an example the exposure that’s
being brought not only to those dogs but
to the shelter in general to the number
of dogs that are awaiting adoption there
to the idea of adoption in general
automatically spikes adoption on a
broader scale maybe what that does in
turn is reinforces back in Russia that
maybe these dogs really do have some
value maybe we should take a little
better care of these dogs this is the
first rescue dog we’ve had and you know
what this rescue dog in some ways is
humbler and more grateful for everything
then the purebred we had before
