Foster Dog - Bradley

I'm a new foster-mom for dogs. Bradley is only our third foster. He's been her for 2 days and I have to wonder.... how the heck did this dog end up a stray?! He's such a well-behaved boy. Quiet inside, playful outside. Obedient, friendly, ok with cats & dogs. No aggression issues. He even knows some tricks. There is NOTHING wrong with this dog. The only thing I can think of is that he was a "runner" - aka didn't get enough outdoor exercise or stimulation.

How many dogs - like Bradley - end up on death row because they are "runners"? Perhaps if people realized how easy it was to train a dog to walk on the tredmill, there would be less dogs given up for adoption.

Here are two of my favourite Bradley pictures - notice how his feet aren't touching the ground!
