It was a REALLY cold day when we got Riley. We left very early on a Saturday morning to drive to a shelter to get a him. I had been searching petfinder.com for awhile and had seen him (who was ironically named "Rocky," a lovable cat that I once had who had recently passed away). We didn't even call the shelter to see if he was there, but still drove to the shelter in below-temps over an hour away.
We walked right in looking specifically for him. I briefly glanced at the other dogs at the shelter who were excited and barking, but then saw Riley right in front of me, sitting very calmly in his kennel. We took him out to a room to see what he was like and instantly knew he was the ONE. He was sniffing around the room like any dog would, but he had such a calm demeanor for an 8 month old puppy. We had no choice but to bring him home.
He sat in the backseat of the car on the ride home and laid down. Another great reason... he was a good traveler.
