I am 5 and the only “home” I can remember having is life in a shelter in a place called Turkey. No one wanted me because I had a big bump on my leg. What I hoped for was someone that cared more about me than about that bump! I knew that would take a very special person and what do you know? I found them! I had an operation to take away the bump and found my new mom who knows all about goldens that need homes. Now I am the hit of my neighborhood and everyone wants to meet me. When my leg gets better I’m going to take walks and visit all the people who came out to meet me. I’m a long way from my shelter life and I am hoping all the other goldens that are still there can be as lucky as me and come to America too. My special thanks go to Bruce Weber who was my very own sponsor. If it wasn’t for sponsors some of us would never have a new life ahead of us. Your friend, Maccabee
