This just makes my heart explode with happiness. To prove a point that rescue dogs are great pets, during the Brazilian Open, they used rescue dogs, that they had trained as the ballboys!

Of course, the tennis balls were full of dog drool, and sometimes the dogs didn't want to give the ball back and the tennis players had to give chase, but hey, that's just part of the joy and love of owning dogs!

As a dad of two rescue dogs, Bob and Henley, I strongly support visiting your local shelter and see if there's a dog there that could become part of your family! I have a magnetic sticker on the back of my car of a dog print and it says "Who Rescued Who?". It's so true!
