"Le Petit Prince"-aka-Caramel

This is "Le Petit Prince" also known as Caramel. This picture was taken when he was a puppy, 7 years ago. The Story of Caramel: Caramel was born to a "couple" of abandoned dogs living around the Baie Rouge Beach. Yes, I did say "couple". They would actually take turns to go out to find food to feed their pups. The male would search for food and then the female would search for food. Each Indvidually. I had never witnessed this before with dogs. We had seen the male and female for years, always in the Baie Rouge Area living together on the side of the road. When going home from the beach one day, we saw a few puppies on the side of the road. Naturally, we turned around and went back to try to remove the puppies from the road and save them. There were two puppies; a male and a female and we followed them into the hills behind Baie Rouge and through exhaustive mesures, managed to catch them. Of course the male barked, protested and was quite strong in his character to be captured. We took the male home, a friend took the female.I really didn't want another animal because I knew what was involved with training a puppy. Well.......the little flea infested, dirty, smelly, strong character little puppy had a name a half mile from where we picked him up, had a vet appointment for his shots a mile away from the rescue and had a home 2 miles from there. I've had many animals over the years and each one, naturally was smart and the best dog. BUT, Caramel proved me wrong....For a dog that I didn't want, he is my "Le Petit Prince" or "Little Prince". He's VERY Smart, Extra Loyal, Protective, Perceptive, Manipulative, Intuitive, Instinctive and every other word that would describe "Intelligence". Caramel has travelled all over with us; to the US as well as throughout Europe. Caramel is the most wonderful animal I could have ever met!
