Australian Cattle Dogs, also called Blue Heelers, are some of the smartest, most intuitive dogs. They bond so completely with their person that they seem to read his mind, as their ancestors read the minds of the animals that they herded. However, eight-month-old, Cattle Dog-mix Chopper simply loves everyone since no one allowed him to bond.

Even though his friendly, trusting personality doesn’t show that, other things do. For instance, he was alone, on his own. And he’d obviously been ignored even before that. His collar was embedded into his throat. Whoever put the collar on didn’t notice or care that the pup had outgrown it.

Yet, Chopper doesn’t know that people weren’t fair or kind. His heart is open to being someone’s once-in-a-lifetime pup.
