More: Rudy was a stray. You could say he saved us. We were having a rough chapter having just lost our beloved pet, a tiny Yorky. We were introduced to Rudy who was matted and flea infested abandoned by the side of a road. We didn't intend to keep him because it was so soon after our loss so we elected to fund his recovery and find a foster parent or forever home. But low and behold underneath the layers of desperation was a generous and loving gem of a pet who is always by our side. Rudy is our boy by the lake in the Blue Ridge Mountain Foothills. Go Clemson Tigers!
