On March 17th 1996, the most important dog in my life was born. He was an accident. My Belgian Sheepdog Graf accidentally bred my Australian Shepherd Indy! I was horrified, but 63 days later Mr was born. Felicia Patterson and I appropriately named him. I miss him everyday, he was my best helper, companion, and the amount of dogs he helped train and how he influenced me was remarkable. The biggest thing that I was taught by Mr is that there are no accidents, he came into my life for a reason and proved that we have to trust what is given to us, A higher purpose does exist. I miss him everyday but the journey was above and beyond anything I could ever dream of. Happy St. Blue Dog day everyone ~ Sandy Moore and Mr
