Can a dog really change a person’s life? Well, on February 7, 2007, I got my dog Jasmine, and my. My life would change for the better, and I didn’t even know. On that cold sunny day, my family and I went to West Virginia in search of a puppy. We found this breeder who just had a litter full of Australian Shepherd puppies. The breeder showed us the litter and said that the only one not sold was the runt of the litter. We said, “yes“Yes, we will take her,” and we went back home with a new puppy. Jasmine was a great dog because she was beautiful and adorable, she was very protective of the family, and she was hard to lose.
