Dear Australian Terrier Rescue:

I was sitting here at work today and someone mentioned the Westminster Dog Show and I went online to look at the winners. I was particularly interested in seeing the best of breed for the Aussie.

You see, I, too, rescued my darling Petey almost 5 years ago. I live in Massachusetts and he was at a local humane society. I swear the minute we looked at each other we were bonded for life. I knew
when I took one look at him that he would be one of the greatest loves of my life.

Aussies are the most loving, sweet, wonderful dogs I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. Petey has been through so much with me in the short time I’ve had him. He has remained
forever faithful and loving to me (his Mommy).

I just wanted to share my story with you because I love him so much. I used to tell people I love him so much it hurts but people started thinking I was nuts. He is my baby. I have no children of my own and don’t plan to so to me, he’s my baby. I look at his face and think of all the times he’s been there for me no matter what and it brings tears to my eyes. He will be 7 in May and I pray to God to give me many many more wonderful years with this most awesome creature. He makes my life truly worth living.

I felt compelled to write to you today. A lot of tragedy has gone on in my life over the past few years and he’s been there every step of the way. I just wanted to share more of the joy of knowing an Aussie.

They are blessed little babies sent from Heaven to actually rescue us... not the other way around.
