Dawson is the love of my life, he was adopted by me while I was a student at Auburn University. I found him on petfinder.com, he was at the Terrel County Georgia Humane Society (about 3 hours from Auburn, Alabama). I drove, saw Dawson and fell in love. He apparently was neglected or abused before and had run away from his owners, he still has some anxiety issues with men, but hey don't we all? He is gentle as a lamb and loves children and other animals and is very happy when his mother Karen is around.
