About 8 years ago, I was inspecting an abandoned home in Pacifica.   I was told by the Realtor not to go into the back yard because a mean dog was there. 

What I saw (and heard) was not a mean dog, but a starving dog.  His bark was one of desperation, not malice.  The dog was about 20 pounds underweight. I immediately entered the back yard and started petting and talking to the dog.   I was told by the Realtor his name was Brutus.

I continued on with the inspection.  At every interior window that faced the back yard that I inspected, Brutus would jump up and bark. 

By the end of the inspection, my heart was won over.  I opened up the back door to my truck, and he jumped in.

 I drove him to Pacifica Pet Hospital to get the full workover.  Unfortunately, the next day, I was leaving for Hawaii for a week vacation...the only time I regretted going on vacation. 

When I arrived back into town and picked him up, Brutus was no longer in the kennel, but sitting at the feet of the receptionist at the Pet Hospital.  Another heart was won.

He has come to be the gentlest, smartest, most loyal dog I have ever had.  Well, needless to say, in the last eight years, he has gained back the lost weight,  won over the hearts of scores of people, and inspired many more to take in a rescue dog. 

While he doesn't come to every inspection with me anymore, hopefully, you'll have the opportunity to meet him.

He is Brutus, the Wonder Dog.
