More: Finn joined our family almost 2 years ago after losing our rescue Australian Shepherd pass from a rare blood cancer. We began looking for a playmate for our Aussie mix who was heartbroken and depressed. Finn had been adopted out twice, unsuccessfully. We took a chance, drove for 9 hours and brought him home. He is a real life teddy bear, sits outside when I garden and guards my feet while I work remotely. He loves his sister and is devoted to his humans.
