Ace the wonder dog

As usual, my mom had a few dogs that were camping over. They are all wonderful in their own way, but little Ace has a more unusual story: he's a Katrina survivor. He was rescued as a puppy and taken with many other pets to the Teton Valley Humane Society in Driggs, Idaho. Here is an article from the Jackson Hole News on the Katrina Homeless Animal Taxi. Despite being part of such a large group and having to wait so long for adoption, Ace has a lovely temperament and the folks who cared for him obviously worked with him on basic commands, socialization, crating, being good on a leash, and all of those things. His new mom (he was just adopted a couple of weeks ago) has also been very dedicated. Like many who have been moved around between caregivers, he is not as indiscriminately affectionate as most dogs are, but takes a little time to warm up to the people around him. It makes you feel like a worthy person when, after some evaluation, he decides you're ok.
