Writing Assignments She is a beloved dog that I welcomed into my heart last summer. Bosha came to me from a lab rescue. She was brought to DE from South Carolina. Found on the side of the road, nearly emaciated, Bosha is a survivor. Despite her failing health, she was rescued while trying to care for her 8 puppies. Since Bosha has become part of my family, she has gained over 20 pounds. Her temperament has gone from scared and timed to friendly and loving. She is quite adventurous and loves escaping into the neighborhood to visit other yards and dogs that live there. In fact, this morning she slipped through the cracked garage door. She did her lap around the homes in our area, but within minutes, she was scratching at the front door. I think she knows who loves her and that my house is her forever home!
