Hi everybody, you may have read the very sad story about this lovely black boy; left in a flat, lonely and hungry for months and only kept alive by a kind neighbour who fed him through the letterbox.

Yes I did cry and so did my husband. We have always been owned by Black Labs and Airedale Terriers. Our darling Bruce died over a year ago aged 14 1/2 and we were at the stage of 'will we, won't we?' But we always knew there was a Black Boy out there for us somewhere. And so Buster came into our lives and into our hearts and we will never let him go. He will never be cold, hungry or lonely again. Buster and our Airedale Beads (aka Good Boy Beads) who is also a rescue, get along really well.

and have now started sleeping in the same bed together. Buster has been to the vets and weighs 21kg (a bag of bones) and has had his first injections. His tummy, which has been running on empty for so long, is now getting used to regular feeds. He has sores on his face with sticking it through the letterbox and the are starting to heal. But his sore paws still look very sore, friends on Planet Airedale have advised to rub them with nappy rash cream so fingers crossed and the vet advised to bath them in salty water. He is such a lovely soul and has not been a bit of bother, fitting into our home like he has been there forever. We have lovely walks in the fields around our house and he likes to play with a ball. He has become a celebrity in our village and everyone wants to pat him which he loves.

bye for now Shelagh, Good Boy Beads and Beautiful Buster
