Jack is a rescue dog that I adopted on December 20th, 2004.  He was approximately 1-2 years old, and only 45 pounds of skin and bones.  His hair was very thin and he looked a little sickly.  These are pictures of him the night I brought him home.  Jack seems to hate women who wear black so we think that must have been the type of person who abused and abandoned him.  He is a healthy and happy 90 pound dog now.  Loves the water and playing hide and seek with his toys in the snow.
