Wendel

This morning, this Beagle used his pleading eyes, and gentle disposition to get himself out of the pound, and into the lovely hands (and cars) of several people.  His fate was up in the air early in the day, but some fantastic people teamed up to worked nothing short of miracles for this sweet boy, and brought him into the safe and very loving hands of K9 Crusaders!
