If there are any feline fans reading this then you might have heard about or be familiar with the Cat Distribution System, but have you ever heard of the Dog Distribution System? This is an exact copy of the CDS but with one major difference, it is for dogs. The idea is simple, find a dog in need of a loving home with care and attention, find a hooman who needs the love and affection of a cute canine, and create a chance meeting between the two where they fall in love and live happily ever after.

No big deal, right? Wrong. But it happens with such ease that you might think it is no big deal. That is not to say that it should not be appreciated though, as you will see in this story, the couple who were gifted a good soul from the DDS could not believe how lucky they were when they haphazardly met their new mutt. This is a story of second chances. This is a story of expanding families. But more than anything else, this is the story that will make you look for dogs in need wherever you go in life.

    Over the years, a lot of dogs have been a part of my family. All of our dogs came to us organically, either rehomed to us from acquaintances who, for one reason or another were no longer able to keep them, or fell straight

  • Wow, what a life that must be to lead. Like at a certain point you realize that much of your time will be spent caring for, adopting, rescuing and playing with dogs, so you just surrender yourself to the process of prancing around with pawdorable pups.

    Our neighbor had been in her car stopped at an intersection, and saw this puppy get thrown out of the car ahead of her.

    Being a good human being, she got out and picked the puppy and brought her home. Not being a dog person, she didn't feel she could take care of her and she didn't want the responsibility.

    She remembered that we had lost a dog recently, and knew us as dog people, so she stopped by our house with this little fuzz ball (picture 1).

  • Now, obviously this couple is not inclined to pass on the puppers that they have found. But they do lay the groundwork for what could be an amazing shelter system. Where the focus is on training darling doggos to be the best boys and girls on the block, making it nearly impossible for someone to want to return them.

    Many years later, we took in a bigole baked potato (Pork Chomps), another pups who needed to be rehomed. Shortly thereafter, Moopmoops and Honkers left us, within two months of each other. The month

    Ollie was in the hospital for over a week. He was in terrible shape. At the start, the doctor gave him an under 25% chance of survival and recommended he be put down humanely. He also
