Meet Shadow
Breed: Border Collie
Barking from: Pahiatua
What's up dog?
Shadow is our good luck charm. For years my husband and I had fertility issues and were told by doctors that it would be virtually impossible to have a child. We got Shadow as a puppy to distract us from this and the next month after we got him we finally had our positive pregnancy test - our daughter was born in January and Shadow does not leave her side.
