A large margin of online voters agreed that the victim of one of Oregon's worst animal-abuse cases should be the next Director of Barketing at the Sunriver Resort.
Tivi, a Sharpei-pit bull mix, was found on the side of the road two years ago -- his muzzle taped, bones broken, his body doused in gasoline and burned, then left for dead.
This week, he took a commanding lead over nearly 300 other entrants in a contest to find the next public face for the Central Oregon resort's pet-friendly lodgings.There's more about prizes and how he's been adopted by a wonderful, loving human. He still has to wear clothes because of damage that some of the burns left. Then there was a link to his Tumblr blog. . He and I have a few things in common. We're the same age and we don't like walks in the rain for instance. Anyway, I read through his whole blog - which is mostly photos - and fell in love with him and with his human, Jonathan, and I thought I'd like to share because I bet a lot of you would enjoy it, too. His life has had a major upgrade and it's looking like happily ever after for Tivi.
(I hope Jonathan doesn't mind that I sort of borrowed this picture. I just wanted to show how cute Tivi is.)
How cool! He definitely deserves the honor after that! Congratulations to him!

My mom first heards about him on a pit bull forum that she likes to visit sometime. She just fell in luvs with him and hoped and hoped he would finds his forever home and when he did, she got all kinds of leaky. I'm so glad he won that contest and I think Jonathan is a real angel of human for loving him and giving him a home.

Wow ... that poor dog. I am glad he has a much better life now!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great story, Lola!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have a feeling that the "no rain" approach may be common to many Shar-Peis. My friend ViVi hates the rain!
Woofs,

That is SO upsetting to think that two-leggers would do something like that. (I had to censor that sentence.) Thank you for posting about Tivi. And who-wee... he IS cute, you're right!

I found out about Tivi through a Facebook group. I've been following his story faithfully, and like Maizy's Mom, I got all kinds of leaky when I heard he found his forever home. But then it got even better! His Daddy, Jon, has a great blog and he shares just wonderful photos with awesome and funny and tender captions. Just lovely. So, so glad it has worked out so well for both of them!

That was a wonderful story but the circumstances in which Tivi was found was really horrible... happy that Tivi found a loving home in Jon's... thanks for sharing this story with us.

It doesn't help to know we are so helpless when it comes to animal cruelty.. It makes mommy very upset whenever she hears about these kinda stuff as she can't understand why anyone would want to abuse an animal..
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we are very happy to know that Tivi finally found a new home and an excellent owner.. You could almost feel Jon's love for Tivi through the pics he posted.. Tivi looked all spoilt !! :D
And Lola, Thanks for all the words of encouragement during this confinement time.. We really appreciate it and I will try to eat more !!
hugs and kisses
