Comet was saved from a puppy mill in upstate N.Y. were they specialize in large dog breeding. Me and my wife offered a sizable donation as we spied Comet walking along a little fenced in cage. This mill has since been closed. We saved him and now he lives a great life. Or should i say he saved us. Here he meets his first small dog at 6 months old at a dog park.Today he is twice this size. He now works in hospitals trying to cheer children up who have cancer. What a blessing.
