Dear Firstline,

Bayleigh, my German Shepard puppy, took such a liking to the January 2009 issue that she literally tore through the pages. Bayleigh's come a long way from being found in a client's garage, emaciated with mange, three types of intestinal parasites, and a broken back leg. The parasites have been cleared up, we're working on the mange, and she's slowly gaining weight. She has a permanent limp, but now she can run full speed, harass the cats, and obviously, tear through Firstline.
