This neglected stray dog started barking at me and wouldn't leave So I used my dog Ginger to help me lure him into the backyard Eventually he got comfortable being inside and started to calm down First time on the bed! We didn't plan on being able to cut him so soon But I randomly tried and he was so exhausted he just let me do it Who are you? Decided to call him Winston First bath! Clean He's the sweetest baby! We're so happy to have him in our lives now 😭🥺
