elvis aka: the miracle dog

I was browsing through some old pictures and found the 2006 picture of elvis. It was love at first sight when I saw him as a little puppy on nextdaypets.com. He was just a little eski-chi from Oklahoma City and I knew I had to have him. After lots of e-mails back and forth with his owner (how do you purchase a puppy online???) he was flown out to San Diego. The poor little guy must have been scared out of his mind flying in cargo, especially because his flight was diverted to LAX due to fog and he had to take a bus down to SD. What a trip to take as a pup!
More recently elvis had another traumatizing experience when he took off on the 5 freeway after our car accident on June 25. He was lost from us for over 24 hours! It was a complete miracle that he was found miles away from the accident with only abrasions on his paws and a major case of dehydration. Our family just wouldn't have been the same without our little guy. We are so thankful that he is such a survivor and he made his way back to us! We love you, elvis!
