However if I were a dog person, I think that it would be because I am somehow the patron saint of junk yard dogs.  For whatever reason, the dogs that I end up owning or caring for seem to be rescued neglected dogs. The dogs that have that junk yard rep&#8230;and that junk yard condition too.  I don&#8217;t go out to find them, they just seem to find me.  <\/p>\n<p>Enter Hunny.  I wasn&#8217;t really interested in a pet at this time, I was only keeping her long enough to get her healthy again, then I was taking her to the rescue for adoption.
