Dear Sparky,
What do you think about
invisible fences? Are they
a safe and humane way of
keeping my dogs safely in
my yard?
Thank you,

| Top Ten Reasons to Adopt a Black Lab |
There's something about a big shiny black dog that just
appeals to me. Maybe it's because they appear to be
somewhat mysterious and less readable in their facial
expressions than a lighter coated dog. Perhaps I love the
breeds that are dark coated-the Shepherds, Rotties,
Dobermans and Black labs-big, loyal working dogs that
demand attention by their mere presence. Or it may just be
that no matter the breed-pure or mixed-my family always
seemed to end up with a black dog! Whether we chose a
pooch from the pound (we had several of those) or a stray
appeals to me. Maybe it's because they appear to be

Gunner is a young lab approximately
a year old with an endearing
personality and handsome looks.
How anyone ever lost track of a gem
like him we’ll never know. He was first
discovered as a stray and taken into a
shelter. Someone considered
adopting him there, so he was
neutered and micro chipped. The
family backed out, perhaps
recognizing his leg wasn’t quite right,
a year old with an endearing
personality and handsome looks.

discovered as a stray and taken into a
shelter. Someone considered
adopting him there, so he was
neutered and micro chipped. The
family backed out, perhaps
recognizing his leg wasn’t quite right,
and there he spent a month in a crowded shelter, unadopted and time
running out. At this point Brookline discovered him, evaluated him and took
him into foster care. (continue...)
As Brookline began to handle his veterinary care, Gunner was found to be
underweight, with two infected and ruptured ear drums, and suffering from
an apparent trauma which had snapped the heads off the top of both femurs.
Imagine the pain he felt as he sat in a shelter waiting for help, and the pain
he continues to endure even now as he sits on his fluffy sofa pillows at the
beginning of a long recovery. (continue...)
