Bailey came to us as a pound puppy foster, and we failed as a foster family and kept her. To our delight, she loves the snow and can handle the cold due to her rugged coat. She has nicknames including Savage, Monkey, Rat dog, Land shark, and [some other names that will be omitted from this 5\/5].<\/p>\n<p>Bailey gets to ride the last lift run of the year and races us to the bottom.
