Meet Malika

This is Malika. This is the dog that belongs to Alan's friend JoAnne. Alan has often watched Malika for JoAnne when she is traveling. We will be doggy sitting for Malika after Alan leaves, for a few days until JoAnne comes home from her travels. Malika is a great dog, and is so incredibly sweet.
Malika's story is pretty incredible. She is not an Indian dog. She is a Kenyan village dog. JoAnne was there for a while and got her as a puppy. There was huge political unrest there and JoAnne had to flee the country leaving everything behind including this little puppy. Well, two years later JoAnne went back to Kenya—not even sure if the village was still there and to her surprise it was. She even found Malika (half starved) who had remarkably survived the unrest living off of whatever she could find for food and shelter. Amazing story and and Amazing dog! It is our pleasure to love on this littel beast while we can. She has made it really fun for us. She has kept me great company while I have been working from home while Miles and Alan are at the office. We just love her and will miss her when we have to give her up to her real owner.
