Project 365- Day 98

Friday, on our way home from a trip into town, we saw this little dog, smack dab in the middle of the road, right before we turned onto our dirt road.

She looked scraggly and scared. My husband didn't want anything to do with the little pup but I was worried she would get hit by a car so we brought her home. We gave her a bath and even though she really needs a haircut she looks so much better.
We asked a couple of neighbors and they had never seen her before.
She is really sweet, so patient with our toddler and has yet to bark since she has been here.
She has taken a liking to me and oddly, she looks a lot like my first dog, Muffin, who passed away years ago. The only difference is my dog was about 10 pounds heavier and a little taller. She was also white with a patch of black around one eye and she would nip at you if she didn't know you.
Seeing this little girl makes me miss my first doggie baby.
I hope we are able to find the owners.
I have checked Craigslist and looked around for lost dog signs but I fear she might have been dumped here.
She would not be the first dog to be dumped near our house since we are far out in the country and people seem to think it is better to dump their unwanted dogs out here.
If we don't find her owners we might just adopt her ourselves. She seems to fit with our family and she gets along with our insecure little jack russell/chihuahua mix pretty nicely.
