Update on Stella
I'm glad it has a happy ending. I hate to hear that people are keeping potentially dangerous dogs in neighborhoods....or anywhere. They can turn on owners too.
However, if you love your pal so much you should never let them ride in the back of pickup trucks. We used to live on a busy back road and numerous dogs got thrown out if the driver had to swerve or hit a bump...etc. I'm just giving you a heads up.
