My first thought the first time my cousin Steph sent me a picture of her new dog, Bolt, was "Ooh! Pretty!" Then she sent me another picture of Bolt and her- Bolt's head was bigger than my cousin's head! So my next thought was, naturally, "Oooh! Big!"

Bolt is 15 months old. He's a purebred white German Shepherd. He was yet another victim of antifreeze poisoning when he was a puppy. Luckily, some people rescued him and saved his life. The rescuers had to rehome him due to downsizing their home, and now he's living happily with Steph.

Steph says he is very well behaved and is great with other dogs. She said, "He is nothing short of amazing." Thank goodness for the rescuers of the world. So many good dogs could be living on the streets or dead, if not for all of us who go out of our way to rescue dogs. Thanks, Steph, for doing your part!
