A true rags-to-riches story, one-of-a-kind mutt Rami is using his uniqueness to raise awareness for shelter dogs.
It started as a dog-gone love story.
A Romeo and Juliet “tail” of forbidden love between a Pitbull and a Dachshund that culminated in, well, take a look for yourself:

But this once abandoned good ole boy from rural Georgia has found both home and purpose, becoming the shelter’s ambassador while at the same time studying hard to become a certified therapy dog. It’s expected the vertically challenged Rami’s rags to riches story will inspire prospective parents to consider shelter pets when going through the adoption process.
