Finding Brady
Michelle and Brady
A couple of years ago, I received a very concerned call from my daughter, Michelle, telling me that her beautiful German Shepherd, Brady, was missing. She and her husband had searched the neighborhood and could not locate him. My wife and I dearly loved this dog, and so I was naturally concerned, but not frightened.
