More: We rescued this pup from a family who no longer wanted him because they were hoping he’d be a livestock guardian ( which he was not trained to do) but he wanted to eat their chickens . He lived outside in the winter in a dog house on a chain . He now has a fenced yard, warm bed, lots of toys and a family that adores him . We lost our dog a few months ago and we’re so happy to have this pup in our lives .
