This is Polly. Polly was a German Shepherd mix who came to us in May of 1983 from a home where the people in it never really understood her and did not give her the care she needed She never really recovered from neglect, remaining timid and shy throughout her life. We did some obedience work with her, but the forays out into public were so stressful for her, we didn't pursue any titles. She did, however, serve as a paid model for a pharmaceutical magazine ad. The ad is framed and hanging on our doggie "Wall of Fame." We lost Polly after a short but painful battle with cancer in May of 1998. After all those years of dealing with her shyness and timidity, she faced her final battle with great courage. She's sorely missed by all who knew her. Our home will never be the same without our "Flash." She's resting with God now on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, waiting for us to meet with her again someday.
