One last report involving the life and times of the founder before we move on to present day challenges for all service dogs. Among the many abandoned dogs Windsor helped rescue and rehabilitate was Leila, an American Bulldog girl that was surrendered to the pound by her 'celebrity' owner. Next to Beth, the meat grinder on paws, she was one of the more memorable dogs Windsor served. Read the story of her rehabilitation one more time.
"Leila was on death row as well. Windsor took her in for a few precious weeks. When she arrived at his home, complete with bed, warm blankets and food, Windsor immediately confiscated her brand new bed. She moved on the floor.
Here she is wistfully looking at her bed that is now occupied by King Windsor.
After long days on probation, the persistent smart
girl finally managed to rest her head on the bed.
This happens when you give the devil the tip of your small finger. He will take the whole hand.
End of story?
No.
Behold the powers of a determined Bulldog girl!
Wait! It gets even better. This lady is determined to repossess her bed despite the occupant. Her mission in life is reconquista of the bed.
Success!
She finally wormed herself onto her own bed as an equal partner.
Two kindred souls, one shared bed.
Blessed are those who find peace and affection on a shared bed.
From the world of Hip Hop to a wet, dirty concrete floor in an animal shelter, to a soft, warm bed in a home this Bulldog Lady has come a long way.
A little celebratory embrace is justified. Don't you think so?
Honi soit qui mal y pense!
