Ok, I’ll tell the Frida rescue story…My husband was working on the Metro North overpass in Harlem (structural engineer) and some of the iron workers called him and said there was a “small” dog on the tracks. He found Frida, scared to death, curled up under the 3rd rail, which had been turned off that day for construction. She wasn’t so small after all and because she couldn’t walk on the elevated tracks, he had to carry her down in a cherry picker (one of those things the Con Ed guys use to get to the street lights). We don’t know if she had been thrown on the tracks or she managed to find her own way up there, but knowing Frida, anything was possible. She was probably used for fighting or bait as she had scars. But always a sweetheart!

Our “baby”, Willy, was literally rescued from the room where he was about to be put down. Being a Rottweiler, they don’t give them much time at the shelter. He was then quarantined for about a month with heart worm, before he finally came “home”.

Our prayers are with you and your family (people and pets).

If I can think of any kind of boarding for the potential new dog, will post immediately.
