Yes, once in a lifetime. We had one like that. A stray smallish great dane. If I could have one dog all over again, it would be Elsa. She just fit right in, never caused a second of trouble. And her history was horrible. Left tied to a tree at a farm a few miles away that the renters had abandoned. Neighbors only noticed because the cows were getting thin. 2 German shepherds locked in a shed were so bad off, animal control just shot them. We think Elsa either chewed through her rope or someone cut her loose. She had been roaming for over 6 months. Had been shot in the shoulder by a sheep owner, and her shoulder healed all wonky. She also only had one eye. Vet said it had been surgically removed. We figured it was the cancer that was growing on her face. Had tumors removed twice and it never came back. Best dog. Only barked when there was a person who didn't belong, and she was naturally protective. Best dog we had.
