Eight year old Tonto became homeless when his owner moved and could only take one of her dogs. Despite the drastic change in his circumstances, Tonto remained happy and loved everyone he met.

While driving to work one day on Wednesday, October, 2010, a Good Samaritan, Erik, passed an apparently dead dog laying in the median of a busy Atlanta, GA highway. When he took one last look at the poor dog in her rear-view mirror, he saw the dog raise its head. The dog was still alive!…
