This has got to be one of my all time favorite stories. It might have something to do with the fact that Skid Boot the Dog looks an awful lot like my own Australian Cattle Dog "Belle".
I think the best part of the Skid Boot story is that is almost didn't happen. His owners were seriously considering giving him away due to complaints from the neighbors. But Skid Boots owner David Hartwig gave him a second chance. He took the same part of the dog that neighbors labeled "mischievous" and put it to work. The rest is history from there. David tapped into Skid Boots talents and work ethic, forever changing both their lives and warming the hearts of countless people across the world.
