Chesney

We lost our lab, Emma, over the summer. She was 13 years old and I swore no more dogs. My three children are college age and I was sure I didn't have it in me to lose another. But as the days and weeks passed, I started to feel like something was missing. I found myself walking toward the back door more often than I would admit. I thought about scanning the MHHS site and decided it couldn't hurt. I'd never get emotional over a simple picture of a dog, would I?

Well, there he was - a 102-pound black lab looking right up at me. I swear I could almost hear him thinking, "Are you coming or what? Hurry up!" My daughter and I went down to the shelter the very next morning. Home he came, and home he'll stay.

Chesney is the love of our lives! Thank you, MHHS, for rescuing and keeping our boy safe until we could meet him. He's exactly what was missing!
