More: Josie is a rescue who was raised for 4 months (that is how long it took to get healthy enough to be adopted) by inmates at a womans correctional facility. We adopted her when she was just about 6 months old. She is an advocate for her Yellow Lab brother. She tells us when he is hungry. If she has food left and he doesnt, she will pick up and dump her bowl out so ranger can have some because he was trained to not eat out of her bowl. When ranger gets in trouble, she will comfort him, then follow you around the house "telling you off" talking up a storm. She is loyal and protective. She was in a nasty accident with my daughter and refused to leave her side. They had to allow her in the ambulance with my daughter who was only 16 at the time. She loves the outdoors, loves to ride (and run after) the 4 wheelers and snowmobiles, she loves to hike and play in the snow. She is always listening and is a talker. As i write this, this is prancing around next to me, pushing rangers food bowl to me telling me he wants dinner talking up a storm the whole time.
