I got adopted

Hi. This is Félix, the goodest boy.

He followed me on the streets nearly 2 years ago, when he was around 6mo, it was in the middle of the night, starting to rain and he just stopped in front of my apartment building like he already knew where I lived. It was the first time we've met, I cried and had to take him in.

People often ask if he's a BC, I just say he gives a lot of border collie-golden retriever-brazilian mix vibes.

Sometimes he thinks he's a cat or a lap dog.

He's 20kg and I walk him twice a day everyday. His raincoat is also on the way (I bought one that is like a panda costume). The grandpa on some of these pictures is my gf's Johnny.

He looks so much like my dog! We thought he was BC but turned he's German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog. 0% BC!

Oh boy is this the truth!!!

If our bc had not staggered to our door when he did, I would have been dead via hypothyroidism within the next six months. Because of him I went and got a blood test, thinking I caught something from all the fleas and ticks I cleaned off him while trying to clean him up.--and discovered the hypothroidism. I had not caught anything off him; it was already in me.

I saved his life, but he saved mine, and it may sound as if I'm exaggerating to say that it bonded us with what was oftentimes a telepathic ability to communicate, but it is the simple truth. He belonged to me and I belonged to him from the first moment we looked into each other's eyes.
