That is an awesome thing. She knows you saved her and to her, you are a true hero.
My wife and I rescued 23 dogs the first year we were married.
I actually rescued a little terrier mix a few years back in Lufkin. I saw her in the 5 lane road about to get hit by a car. I stopped and yelled "git" and she cleared the road just in time. She would have absolutely been hit.
She ran behind a house, and me being the dog loving bashful guy I am, I pulled in the driveway gonna give a light chewing to the owner for letting the little gal get in the road. It was an elderly couple, so the chewing part went right out the window. Turns out she had just shown up 3 days prior. They asked me if I wanted her, and I said no, but wasn't about to let her get killed by a car.
Had every intention of rehoming her. Took her to the vet and got her shots... and guess what. Turns out she is the sweetest baby girl I could ever hope for. She sleeps either under the covers snuggled up to me or on my pillow wrapped around my head.
You did a great thing and Sam will reward you for it more times than you could possibly keep track of.
Good on you! Great story and I'm sure she will be a great companion.
I acquired my current dog that way, 15 years ago. Today she is hard of hearing, going blind, but still the best dog a guy could have. I have never, nor will I ever regret saving her one bit. Lot's of good lessons and years joy.
Best dog I ever had was Named Samantha I called her "Sam".
You rescued that dogs life and she knows it.
She will forever be your servant whether you like it or not. If you would have given her away she would have never been the same as she will be with you. If you don't know what unconditional love is...she's about to show you. It's amazing.
