Keeper was found running across a highway as I braked to miss her. She tried to hide in some leaves when I rescued her. She was only about six weeks old. After a fruitless search for an owner, she was brought home with intentions of finding her a home. Our vet aptly named her Keeper, and she's been a total joy. She loves to bounce across the floor to fetch. She entertains herself and adores belly-rubs. She must have always been outside, because she knows what grass is for, and was immediately housebroken. She loves everyone she meets. Sometimes I think she was just dropped from the sky into my lap and she was meant to be mine. She's five now, but I treasure these pup pictures.
Awwwww Keeper I'm so glad your mom rescued u. You were such a sweetie when u were a baby. Lots of biscuits and cuddles for u.
I am so glad that you kept Keeper! She's adorable and I can tell that she's the joy of your life and I hope ya'll have many more happy years together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keeper looks as if she's got so much energy she can't contain it! What I want to say is I'm so glad that there are people like you who love animals and don't just 'look the other way' when one is in trouble. You deserve all the joy and love that Keeper will readily give you. xx
Keeper, I'm so glad that you were found by such a loving person! You are adorable, and I would have wanted to keep you too. Lots and lots of love xxx
Keeper is absolutely gorgeous! I thank you & I'm sure Keeper thanks you too. If not for you, who knows what would have happened to her. I would love to see her all grown up.
keeper is a wonder!she is looking up with love and trust and has eyes only for you! what a beautiful little girl - and how great of you to have rescued her - you both were obviously meant to "be together" - lots of belly rubs and biscuits for your little girl and many thanks to you!
Absolutely adorable, you are one lucky pooch, Keeper, and I just know you are loved heaps.xxxxxxoooooxxxxx
Yes, pleeeeeeeeeeease send her grown up pics. People as far away as Brisbane, Queensland, Australia would love to see them! She's adorable, with such a beautiful gentile air about her... oxo
I would love to think that fate sometimes lends a hand and Keeper was in fact "just dropped from the sky" so you could be together! A beautiful story and a beautiful puppy. Many more years of love and happiness to you xxx
ok now that i'm done swooning, can i bring Keeper home pls? THANK YOU SO MUCH for rescuing her! God bless you!!!
Pup in a pot! Great. I rescued 3 pups similar tot his that someone had dropped off at a dempsey dumpster. They made 3 families very happy! Thanks for rescuing her and giving her a home she so rightly deserves!
Look at those big blue eyes! Keeper is simply adorable. Have a great time with her and lots of biscuits and kisses on the nose from me.
How on earth are we supposed to pick a fav. picture with such an adorable, cute, precious, lovely, sweetie, pie of a pup. Did I say adorable? How about adding gorgeous and obviously blessed to have been found by you! Oh Lord, I want another one of these please! Rescued and mixed breeds rock! God bless you Keeper!
Rescuing is the best way to find your best friend! Since we have a rescue pup I can't imagine getting one in the future any other way. So MANY need homes! Bless you for stopping when it would have been more convenient to keep going! Keeper is your gift from heaven...may you have many, many happy years together!!
OH MY GOD !!!!!!!! How in the hell could anyone just toss this little baby on a highway? She is a keeper for sure, how cute! I bet she is as cute at 5 too.
You can just see her asking, "Will you be my mommy?" What a sweet puppy, and what a heartwarming story. Your vet was onto something when he chose that name?
OMG! i can't belive your puppy is so borad. i can't belive you don't have any toys for him. Get him some plase he's so board.
Oh Keeper - I do believe you were dropped from Heaven! I'm so happy your owner found you and obviously loves you to pieces! Have a long and happy life little sweetie - a zillion tummy rubs, hugs, kisses, and cookies! xoxoxo
I wish ALL people were as loving as YOU...she IS a 'keeper', and she DID fall from heaven... meant to be!!! Smooch her from MY girls! And YES...adult photos of her would be wonderful! Enjoy her as much as I bet she enjoys you!
Such a beauty - how lucky she was to land in your lap - and you are lucky to have her. Many biscuits and belly rubs!!!!
If she was such a beautiful baby, she must be a magnificent young lady now! And bless you for taking her in and not just driving on. Keeper is a perfect name -- obviously she is all that. Many more happy years together!
How sweet, just love her. God bless you for giving her a loving home. Enjoy your baby and many happy years together. Many biscuits and belly rubs to you Keeper.
She's such a neat color. I love her name!! :) You should put some pictures of her as a grown up puppy, I'd love to see how she looks now. She's a cutie here. :) I hope your life only gets better Keeper. :D
What an adorable girl. I'm so glad you found her and I hope you have many more years of joy together.
ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
OMIGOSH.. Keeper is unbelievably cute. One picture is just more adorable than the last. What a wonderful story, too. She was definitely meant to find you! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto. (would love to know what she looks like now)
We wanted to see grown-up Keeper too. What a sweet faced puppy and how lucky you both were to find each other.
Keeper you are so adorable!! It was hard picking just one photo.Bless you for saving her. How anyone could turn their back on this little cutie makes no sense at all!
"Thank You, Lord, for dropping me from the sky into the lap of my wonderful Mom!" Love Your story, thank You so much for sharing it! God Bless!
How adorable!!! I am thinking you are correct about her just being dropped from above into your path. It is so wonderful that she has a good home and the you did not hesitate to welcome her!!! Many good times for both of you!!! She is cute!!! :)
This angel on earth has nothing but "pure love" in her eyes! You are so luckey to have her. Always be aware of her love for you....
She is a beautiful dog and yes the Viszla coloring is definitely there. You were meant to have her - it's just that simple! Many times pets find us, not the other way around.
This is a lovely story. Lucky little Keeper. I think you must be keeper's Angel or something like that. What are the breeds? Maybe an Aussie Shepherd mix? Love this lil' girl.
WOW! what an adorable young lady!! I agree, I think Keeper is an angel that just fell out of the sky and into your lap! Kudos to you for giving her the loving home she deserves! Give her a big squeeze from me and my pack!! phaedra and pack
Those blue eyes and that pink nose -- mixed breed she may be, but I'm seeing a LOT of Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever in her. She's gorgeous!
I love foundlings! I have cat that came into my life the same way and she absolutely rules the house in the best way. Keeper is a sweetheart.
Keeper is definitely a keeper. I have a chocolate lab and she is 13 but still a puppy at heart. I would love to see Keeper now.Lots of hugs and dog biscuits!! :-)
Pup in a pot - gorgeous! Please post grown-up pix too! And I've said it before and I'll say it again - people who rescue doggies have a special corner in heaven reserved for them. Hugs to your doggie. Susanna
Keeper is adorable! May you have many happy years together! Mixed breed dogs are absolutely the best!! You are lucky to have each other.
What an adorable puppy! Kudos to you for rescuing this little baby! I hope you have many happy and healthy years together! Lots of love, belly rubs, and biscuits to you Keeper.
Keeper is truly one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. Thank you so much for rescuing her and giving her a loving home! I, too, would love to see her grown-up pictures!
I'm so happy for Keeper that she met you and have a sweet home now!!!! She does is a gift from the sky. :D
Hear that sizzling sound? It's the sound of my heart melting clean away! Keeper is SUCH a cutie, and that face is precious! She definitely has the perfect name, too!!
Ohhh I'm kinda jealous! I've always wanted to just come across an adorable little puppy by chance and keep it. You're so lucky! And she's adorable! I hope to see the grown up pictures of her soon!
omg, my fave pic is the first one, but this one is so irresistable,too. she is an amazing puppy, and i wish you many joyfull years with her!!! i just wanna cuddle with her!!! ; )
I've added pictures of Keeper growing up to her album for those that wanted to see her. She's an incredible love and her personality shines through. Thanks for all the comments and she's so proud to be Puppy of the Day. We're celebrating!
Like so many have said here, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this wonderful little girl her chance at a forever home. Thanks to all of the folks here who have rescued a loved one.I wish you many happy healthy years together. She is beautiful!
I don't think I'd be able to resist a face like that either!! :) Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures!
Hi mommy, i love and thanks for making me a true Keeper. God Bless you for giving her a forever home, and i doubt that it was just a by chance encounter i believe you two had a divine appointment.Keeper is very cute and i see she grew into a beautiful grown-up too.
Hi Mom, I love you so much. Can't you see it i my beautiful big eyes? Honest, I did drop from Heaven just to be here with you. Thanks for getting me away from that highway. I love you. Your Keeper
What a beautiful story, and an adorable puppy. She is so lucky to have you as her "mommy" now. Poor little dear! My Tuna had a similar story, and she's the sweetest girl in the world. Rescues certainly make some great pups. Many hugs and belly rubs to an adorable baby, and God bless you for taking her in!
What a wonderful name...she is adorable an angel sent for you. Of course she came from above just for you all dogs do. Thanks for keeping her.
Who needs flowers when you can plant pups, "hi, uh...this is my spot, you'll have to find another"{xoxo}
Aaw. what an adorable face. This puppy was a wonderful gift for you from god. Have fun with your little bundle of love. Thank you for saving this little fella from disaster. Truly wonderful.
With a face like that she HAD to be a keeper! :) Perfect name for a perfect pup. She is so lucky your rescued her and gave her a good home. I can't wait to see the grown-up Keeper.
Okay so I used to fit into a flower pot but I think the duck would look better in it. Keeper - what a great name and very smart of the Vet too. Although I'm surprised the Vet didn't want to keep her. What a treasure you have!
There are no accidents,she really was dropped to you from heaven.As for the shot of her in the flower pot,I wish I could grow one of her in my garden!
Gorgeous little girl - those eyes could melt a mountain. What a gift - I'm so glad you found each other. Many happy years and many, many biscuits.
An Angel was looking out for her. She knew she sent her to the right person. I would love to see adult pics of her. What a cutie. Enjoy!!!!
Keeper is the prefect name. So precious. Just look at those beauitful eyes. 11 biscuits to you Hon. Along with all the belly rubs in the world for you.
"Can I stay with you forever? I'll be very good and love you lots. Please let me stay......." ;"Oh, OK then, since you asked so nicely, let's try it for a week and see how that works out...." Gue ss what Keeper? You did it! :)
i love this one, she looks like you could just scoop her up with one hand! such a beautiful sweet puppy face. a million biscuits.
honest mommy I didn't do it on purpose! what a beauty she is
