Did someone say "parade"?
Christmastime means celebration! Michio gets into the holiday spirit by putting on his reindeer antlers and walking in a Christmas parade in town. Always the gentleman, he was on his best behavior and gently greeted his public without jumping or pulling on his leash.The road to recovery
The number on the scale when Michio arrived said 40 - a far cry from what it should have been. It didn't take long for the weight to come on after lots of small meals and a very receptive boy!In one month he gained 50 lbs.
As Michio's body changed, the staff made other discoveries about this boy. He was sweet, gentle, playful and silly. He was good with other dogs and never met a lap that didn't seem perfect for cuddling (even at 90 lbs.!)

Michio's Story
Michio came into the Caroline County Humane Society, MD shelter on October 24, 2009. Someone had called Animal Control to report a skinny dog in their yard - that dog was Michio. This is a picture of him on the day he arrived at the shelter. Literally skin and bones. It's hard to comprehend how he could stand up and walk.
People who work in shelters develop a thick skin - they have to in order to keep sane. But there was something about Michio that touched their hearts. The very sight of him as he walked through the shelter door made some of them cry.
It's a funny thing about some dogs - no matter how bad their condition, they remain resilient and have an such a will to survive. Michio is such a dog. And his story is inspiring and touching.
