Magic

When arf first got Magic (then named Midnight), this is all we knew. . .

Midnight was found on a busy street in Northeast Jackson. A good samaritan saw Midnight get hit by a car and stopped to help him. Midnight was not badly injured, and quickly recuperated. He was trotting around the backyard of the vet clinic winning the hearts of all the assistants who handle the rescues. They described him as a very sweet dog. He learned basic commands very quickly. Midnight had been at the vets office for a few months and was getting depressed over not having a family. He was very affectionate and offered kisses and love to everyone who stopped to give hima little attention.

UPDATE:

"Magic's" New Family

Arf gave Magic all the medical care he needed which included shots and neutering. That's not cheap, y'all. However he was such a good boy and was tugging at some heartstrings. That's when Taylor's mom saw his picture online. A state away, Taylor and her mom agreed they had to give this handsome rescued boy a good home. They fell in love and made transport arrangements.

Here's how Magic is doing now. . .

From Magic and Taylor's Mom:

"He is a nut. He is getting more and more energy every day and starting to put on some much needed weight."

"Did you know Magic LOVES Krispy Kremes? That's right, I made the mistake of leaving half a box on the counter when I went to the gym and when I came home, the box was laying upside down on the floor. It was empty. Little bugger ate my KK's."

"He sleeps at Taylor's side each night and won't leave the room until she gets up. Each morning she makes herself late by playing with him instead of getting ready for school. When she goes to the bus stop, I have to hold him so she can get out the door. He runs from the front door to the window and back with his ears up like "where is she going? Wait, come back!" He lays down on the floor once the bus has taken her away and puts his head on his paws and looks up at me all pitiful like."

Soooo Magic went from a scared, injured stray on the streets of Jackson, fighting for survival, to a happy, loved dog stealing Krispy Kremes (yeah, we know-working on that) off the kitchen counter and anxiously awaiting his beloved Taylor - his rescure- to return from school each day.

This is what happens when you bring a stray into your life. You are not complicating the problem of too many dogs and not enough owners, you are helping. You and your entire family are gaining a true friend for life.

Here's to Taylor, Magic, their mom and dad, and the true magic of Krispy Kremes, which can never be denied.
