All my dogs (including my current pair) have been rescues/shelter dogs too. I just cannot support breeding dogs when so many are homeless for no reason.

The dog rescued from the ocean had to have either fallen off a boat (why didn't they stop & help? -maybe didn't realize until later?) or been thrown over-board.
Either way, it's awesome that he was saved, & if not claimed, is also spoken for by one of the men who helped him.
