A young couple had brought this beautiful 3 Year-old German Shepherd to the shelter and were asking to have him put down because they were moving and \u201ccouldn\u2019t handle such a big dog anymore.\u201d A dog they had raised since he was a puppy\u2014they just cast him aside as if he meant nothing. The shelter, of course, refused and took him in, but when I heard the story, I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about him.<br \/>\nI told my son I wanted to adopt Hunter, but he was hesitant. He said, \u201cMom, he\u2019s a big dog\u2014what if he\u2019s too much for you?\u201d But I\u2019ve had big dogs before, and I know how to handle them. Besides, when I met Hunter, I immediately saw that he was a gentle, obedient soul. I brought him home that very day. Now, Hunter follows me everywhere, curls up at my feet, and looks after me as if he knows I saved him. It\u2019s hard to imagine anyone considering him a burden.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s part of my family now, and I\u2019ll never let him go.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1831216\" data-uid=\"0bf34\">\n<div id=\"mgw1831216_0bf34\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am 74 years old, and I adopted a German Shepherd whose owners wanted to have him euthanized.
