Doggie Love

Betty and Raykun went to graduate school together and became the best of friends at the University of Notre Dame in the 70s. Both received their Ph.D. degrees in Economics and both became college professors. Now both are retired and spend a lot of time with their animals. Betty's love are her rabbits, Raykun's love is her dog Sandy.

Sandy was a stray on the street in Taiwan; she was picked up and sent to an animal shelter, sickly and dirty. Raykun fell in love with her, spent days, hours and tons of money to bring her back to health. When Raykun and family moved back to the US, she flew Sandy to the US. They resided first in San Jose then moved to Redding.

Those who go to shows in Orland or Red Bluff will remember meeting Raykun; she comes to shows regularly to have lunch with Betty. Raykun and hubby even flew to the ARBA convention at Indianapolis last year to visit Betty and did some sightseeing around Midwest.

The top photo is Raykun with Sandy in front of the famous suspension bridge in Redding and the second photo is Raykun's love Sandy.

This is a wonderful story about the love between a dog and her owner. There will be some other surprises shown tomorrow. Please check back.
