How we got our dog

It had been sometimes that hubby wanted a dog. Finally we got a dog. We adopted a dog The dog was starved before it was rescued by a kind soul. $5 was what the kind soul paid to the abusive owner to buy over the dog. It was saved.
The dog was brought to a foster house before adoption. That was our friend's place. The first time we saw the dog, me not that interested in her. Her face colour and her body colour was totally two different shade. She was bony, shy and afraid. That night we took the dog back for a trial to see if we can cope and have some bonding with the dog.With our friend help, we took the dog back. Our friend help us to orientate the dog to our place and done the house breaking for us. The "Do and Don't". That night we kept ourselves busy. Not knowing whether the dog was comfortable with us, staying at our place.We kept waking up in the night to check on the dog. That really made us busy.
The next day we brought back the dog to our friend place as there was another family wanted the dog. They also took the dog back home for a trial. Before we adopted the dog, long story about who would have the dog. We got the dog.The actual date, I could not remember. The dog was with us almost 2years.
