Just that really. We rescued her from RSPCA when she was 10, she was an old persons dog and they'd died. She was struggling in the kennels as she was used to a pampered life, eating human food and sleeping on couches or human beds only etc. She was a city dog who'd never seen the sea or lakes. She was a Collie cross (although we never settled on what she was crossed with). She was so well trained, we often got comments on it from other dog owners etc,but she came to us like it so we couldn't take any credit. We took her all round the UK in our camper and she kept up with our regular hillwalking happily til she was 14.
She added so much to our lives over the last few years, and most recently she genuinely saved me during lockdown- I was on mat leave with a 3mo (my first) when the first lockdown hit and she was my reason to get out and do a decent walk each day. My now toddler and her were best buddies, she was so tolerant and so laid back she happily let the toddler walk her round the house on lead on a regular basis. They'd sneak off and take turns sharing snacks of carrot or cheese that they'd pinched.
I don't know what the point of this post is, other than to say if you are thinking of rescuing a dog please don't rule out the golden oldies! She truly was one in a million
