Gunner came into the Mesquite Newfoundland Club Rescue with his brother Houston. Unfortunately for Gunner and Houston, and others like them, the story is often the same. Giant breed dogs are often the first to go when family dynamics change or money becomes tight. Giant breed dogs have giant vet bills and food bills, and too often individuals…
Throughout this project, I have managed to maintain my composure as the heart-breaking stories of abuse and neglect have come in. It has been real hard, but I have managed to “keep it together”…. that is, until I saw this photo of Destiny. It hit me… hard. I cried for hours, all morning long. They say that…

Destiny looks amazing now, this truly is a 180 degree change. Thanks Mayday!
She truly is a survivor. It is amazing what incredibly horrible obstacles animals can overcome. Most people would have given up and lost hope.Destiny’s name fits her so well, because it is and always has been in her to be a happy and healthy dog!Thank you Mayday for all that you do!
Destiny has such an amazing spirit and capacity for love. She is an inspiration to all of us at Mayday and I know she will be the same to everyone who reads her story.
haunting. i am touched by the way you capture those you love — these images of yours are fabulous!
The all around champion, for her breed, for the abused , for animals everywhere.

Lots of love to Destiny. She is a true success and a sweet soul.
This is amazing!!!

I remember hearing about AZ Sheltie Rescue taking Shy-Low Bleu and the others in. It’s wonderful to see them recognized and to get an update on one of the dogs.
such beautiful photographs–i’m so glad you found each other!
Another sad story with a very happy ending. How do people do these things to animals? This dog and these photos are beautiful!

Sue - Drool, fur, it all goes with the wonderful package of humor, loyalty, and love these giants give us.
Bear - I, being told that the drool could be used as a deterent to scar reduction from injuries. A few weeks ago I was injured and applied my Newf’s drool to the injury and now 3 weeks later I have no scar. Wow “Drool does help”. and Gunner is would be a Great “scar deterent”! He looks Great!!
susie - If you love newfies…the drool just comes with the package. Actually the drools makes me laugh!!!
Shana Kerr - Thanks Susan, Gunny boy looks great, you truly captured all of his magnificent newfness!
