Before and After (aka Extreme Makeover - Dog Edition)

    Melissa, when I looked @ Grady's Petfinder foto the other night I had a similar feeling.  He looked so foreign to me.  There was none of the Grady that I know & love so much in those pictures.  He's become a totally different dog.  Although I have to say that he was full of personality from day one with us.  He's just expanded on his personality since then.  Um, have I told you recently just how much I love Dodger?  I seriously loves me some hound dawgs.

    I'm so loving these before & after shots.  The bring tears to my eyes.  First for how sad, unhealthy & scared these pups look & they change to tears of joy for all the love they have in their lives (both giving & receiving).

    this is a beautiful thread.
     
    i think this could make a great advertsing campaign for shelter/rescues...not just show pathetic dogs that need to be saved...but to also show before and after shots of other dogs that once looked pathetic and are great now.

    I agree.  You all have such beautiful dogs.

    Yes, faramir we try and help out the pups in as many creative ways as possible.  Sometimes I have to take the poster down because people get very emotional and cry in public places.
