He had been in the field and was terribly matted and his fur was full of burrs. Grampa asked me if I wanted the dog and I remember how thrilled I was. We took him home and I named him Zippy. I brushed him and cleaned him up and he was beautiful. I always new my Grampa was a special person but the gift of the dog made him even more so.
