Once a stray whose owners never collected her from the shelter, Maddy is now a much-loved companion.

Three and a half years after adopting Maddy, the family reported: We had one more major addition to our family, a new baby boy named Rory, yes, he is human and not the four legged kind.

We thought you might like to see some photos of Maddy and Rory. Maddy is super gentle with Rory and LOVES him. We did not position Rory near Maddy. He loves her so much he always crawls up to her and she has far exceeded our expectations of being gentle.
