Hydro (dalmatian) came into my live when I didn't need another animal. I was divorcing in a lot of pain myself. He was 3 weeks old and really sick. The neighbors said they had found him at their fence. They called me and ask if I could heal him. My heart answered for me. I told them I could but that I couldn't keep him. Then I saw him. He had 2 black ears, black rings around his eyes and my first impression was that he looked like Alice Cooper the singer. My heart melted. I took him to the vet, and invested in all his shots and major medical. Ok, he was mine now. That was 16 years ago. After $10,000 and a lot of love from him he became very ill again. We spent many many years healing each others wounds. My heart was broken when the vet told me that there was nothing he could do this time for my Hydro. I fell to the floor and laid with Hydro while the Dr. injected his passage to the Rainbow Bridge. I know I will see him again. I cry everyday for my beloved pup. There will never be another one like him. His place if forever etched in my heart. Please feel free to visit his website: http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=176762
