Dog travels two days and 11 miles to return to foster mom
Dog travels two days and 11 miles to return to foster mom

Yesterday 4:33 p.m.
Rachel Kauffman already had two dogs of her own, as well as another pup she was fostering, and had no intentions of growing her pack.
Hank, though, had other plans.
"Sometimes dogs just pick their people," said Tiffany Ford, who played a role in Hank's story. "That's what happened here."
This unlikely story began Oct. 22, when Ford saw Hank's photo online. Hank was a beautiful white shepherd, but he looked sad, terrified, pitiful. Ford got Kauffman involved, and that Saturday, Hank was out of the shelter and in her home on Cox in Cooper-Young.
The plan was to keep him for a few days, then send Hank to a longer-term foster while he was treated for heartworms and fattened up a little. A woman in Middle Tennessee would then formally adopt Hank.
