When I got here I was picked by Barbara and Robert Jones to be their sponsor dog! Pretty neat huh? Thanks guys, you are the best! Not too long ago the only one that cared about me was my Aunt Bee. We lived in the forest and she kept me safe because some things there are dangerous. I am only about 1 and 1/2 years old and still a pup and didn’t know how to keep bad things from hurting me. But she did and then one day the people from the shelter found us and got us each a crate so we could fly to AGA in a big plane. Now I am brave and I have found my own home and Aunt Bee has found hers too. I know she’s proud of me and I’ll never forget her. My new mom knows all about dogs and I think I’ll be getting LOTS of lessons. My dad goes to an office all day ( I think) but he’s good for a ball game when he gets home. My little sister? Well, she doesn’t do much yet but I’m going to wait for her to grow more and then we can be pals together. Right now I am going to look out for her just the way Aunt Bee did with me! Your buddy, Opie
