In real life, Levin is blind, and he did have to learn to walk and run after having spent way, way, way too long in a crate.
For those of you who have my book, he was one of the dogs rescued in the essay, "Am I A Collector?" (page 65 of the 1st edition, page 66 of the 2nd edition)
He looks so much like my rescue Giacomino, that I nearly fainted when I saw his photo. Levin is about five years younger than Beans. I just wonder if they could be closely related.
Thanks to Levin's foster mom, Dina, for sharing Levin's story with me.

addendum:
Dina just corrected me.
She is not Levin's foster home.

She is Levin's FOREVER home!!!!!!!!!!
I love the trims on Levin's collars! hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteYay for Dina and Levin!
Wait a minute! Don't all whippets look exactly alike?
ReplyDeleteAynex is a CAT person (which explains a LOT), but she L-O-V-E-S my whippets and knows each one by name, so don't believe a word she says.
ReplyDeleteShe also makes THE WORLD'S BEST VIDEOS at

so I forgive her everything.
If you want a little taste of what life is like here, go see her videos. Bill is in a ton of them. I, however, am not in one. Hmmmmm... I take back all the nice things I said.
