A friend whom has been living in Atlanta for the last eight years in hopes of returning out West to the landscape that he loves finally achieved his goal. While he was living here he adopted two Samoyed dogs from dog rescues and always looked forward to the day he could return to the mountains with his new buddies. Atlanta is brutal to dogs with thick coats. The summer humidity has to be unbearable for them.

He emailed this picture and it was too precious not to share.

The dogs are Dylan on the left and Chako, (whom I like to call Chako-latte), on the right. Notice Dylan’s smile. Have you ever seen a happier dog?

Well, in this down economy it is wonderful to see someone reach their goals and even better to see two ecstatic dogs.

I am grateful that people take a chance on rescue dogs and live happily ever after.
