A friend of mine emailed me a picture of a lab puppy the other day. I asked where'd you get that because I've tried to get him to get a pup to train with me in the past with no luck. I was fixin' to be mad that he didn't ask for my help finding a pup, but not too mad.

Anyway he told me the story.

His son was driving on Ten Ten Road in the Garner area in NC. He saw a car stop in front of him and the driver side door open, and something black get dropped out of the car. As he pulled up, he looked over to see what it was and saw a lab pup.

Little Chocolate pup, the vet says it looks to be all lab. 7 or 8 weeks old.

Can't think of anything that justifies dropping a 7 week old pup on the side of the road, not to mention a the winter storm approaching...

Anyhow, I think they're going to keep the pup and he said he'd like to train him to retrieve. They've named him Brew cause he's coffee colored. Vet say no worms and no fleas.

This is sad.

With all the resources in the world today at our finger tips (the internet) the only reason people do this stuff must be laziness.

Edit: talking about the person whom tossed the puppy out. I know if I had come across this puppy it would have been coming home with me too!

Jerry,
Your friend is a kind soul, in the right place at the right time. You never know what you get in the dog but I got a last puppy, smallish for a lab and she turned out to be a wonderful competing and hunting dog. She's now retired and hangs out with my wife when I'm out training. She's live a good life and I'm better off for having her. Good luck to Brew and your friend.

Wow, what a lucky pup to have someone like your friend's son see it happen and stop to pick him up.

Sad world we live in, the way some people treat animals and each other.

They say that things happen for a reason…I didn’t take much noticed on that earlier in my life, but I am beginning to noticed it more now.

Let the journey begin with Brew and your friend.:)

Edit: I always try and bring that there is good in our world despite what is happening now.

in rural areas stray dogs show up to peoples houses and end up having puppies. these people drive away from their house and drop dogs off just so they don't have to deal with them. a place where I deer hunt must be a prime drop off spot because once or twice a year a bunch of pups show up. kind of sad. we end up stuck trying to find them homes. same with cats.

Fate is an odd duck. Sounds like it was meant to be and both are lucky fate brought them together.
