There’s an old saying that every dog has its day. Most believe it’s about finally embracing a moment of glory or a long-awaited opportunity.
For Brix, that moment came when Heather from Bright Star Veterinary Clinic told him he would be her Bulldog forever. Heather has always adored Brix, dedicating countless hours to help him earn the “Good Bulldog Citizen Award,” despite his unique challenges.
At just 2 years old, Brix behaves more like a playful toddler. He has a habit of claiming anything he can fit in his mouth—whether it’s a tree limb, a water bottle, or a toy. Once it’s his, there’s no chance he’ll let go.
Yet, to know Brix is to love him. His quirks are easily overlooked by those who see him through Heather’s eyes—where he is, in every way, perfect.
Though he may be misunderstood by some, he is hers, and their bond is unbreakable. Together, they truly love each other to pieces.
Things that make you go hmmmm….. This is one of them. And it’s a true miracle of survival.
This is Brix. Brix was found on Wednesday, sitting in a parking lot of a business closed due to the snow. The temperature that day was 18 degrees. It was snowing hard and everyone in the Metroplex had been warned to stay home and, as you can imagine, bring our pets inside.
For sure, Brix did not drive himself to this parking lot. So what kind of person would abandon a Bulldog in a plastic crate, make him sit there in his poop and pee in the freezing snow and expect the dog to be found alive? I truly just don’t get it.
Brix is maybe 1 year old. He’s not neutered and smells like yeast , but he’s as cute and sweet as they come.
Many thanks to the local animal control for cleaning him up, keeping him safe and contacting our rescue group.
A much better life is ahead for you, sweet Brix, and shame on the horrible people who threw you away.
3/8/21 Update: You may remember that I was found in a crate, in a parking lot on the coldest day of the year. Well, now I’m in my foster home, soaking up some rays with my new bud, Hemi. He’s showing me the ropes on foster life and I’m just relaxing and enjoying myself. He told me cute faces and puppy stuff will get me what I want.
I’m about 1 year old and FULL of energy. I love to run and play because I’m basically still a puppy and that’s what puppies do!
So far, Foster Mom and Dad have been really good to me. I’ve met a couple of the other resident dogs and we all seem to get along, except I like to play a lot and haven’t learned what boundaries are yet. Did I tell you I was a puppy? I’m still learning about all this stuff.
My forever home will need to be an active family, maybe with some skin and fur siblings so I can work out my energy. I will need someone who understands how a Bulldog puppy can get into mischief.
Well, gotta go run and play some more! Enjoy the sunshine.
3/19/21 Update: Brix boy continues to enjoy his foster home and non-stop play sessions with his foster brother. There is nothing those two boys will not try nor explore.
