I got the first dog i ever had after I "flew the nest" when working at the same college. He was a german shepherd mix who donated a kidney. He was part of a different program back when kidney transplants were still new and research was being done. He wass due for euthanazia and give the other kidney but I rescued him. Dusty...one of the best dogs I ever had. My kids grew up with him. Lived a good long life...lived out his life on a farm when I moved here.
