The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a fine breed. My father had a male that was just a loveable guy. Big crybaby that he was. Every time my father would leave the house without poor Duke he'd sit on the back deck and just cry a little....

Whoever it was who forwarded the link to my blog to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue people, thank you!

They have been in contact and will be assisting with finding her owner or, if that is not possible, have expressed an interest in rescuing her.

Their information has been passed along to my friends.

Jeremy, I read up about "ridgies," they sound like wonderful, strong and sensitive dogs. There are several you tube videos for viewing, if you ever want to view them. I LOVE to watch the dog videos at you tube. You can enter in any breed and see loads of videos taken by proud owners. It's a lot of fun.

I got a very nice email from the person who notified ridgeback rescue, with a request I update my blog as to the outcome.

So far, my friends have made contact and sent information requested by the rescue bunch. They also had the dog checked out at their veterinarian's office this morning.

I'd say, if a dog is going to be lost, being lost to my friends isn't such a bad position. ;)

Thanks for the interest!

My friends found a home for this dog. The new owner has plenty of space for the dog to run and exercise. They say, if, by chance, the relationship doesn't work out the rescue group will take the dog in and find a good home for her so, that's a good thing.

I appreciate everyone who took an interest and contributed information regarding the rescue group. They've been very helpful to my friends.

Thanks a lot!
