More: We believe Clementine came into our families life for a reason. You see 2 months prior to Clementine joining our family of 4, our 3 year old German Shepherd, Finn passed away and left a hole in our hearts like no other. Our youngest son finally convinced my husband to get a gold fish. When he was searching rescues for gold fish a Golden Retriever, German Shepherd mix popped up. We felt right away that Finn was giving us a sign from the other side of the rainbow. We immediately filled out an application and adopted Clementine 3 years to the day later that we had adopted our German Shepherd, Finn. 4 broken hearts have been able to heal because of the of the magic of the rainbow.
