Fearless Frankie

A special request to all Best Made fans in the Midwest! Meet Fearless Frankie. She’s an 8-10 month old Black Lab/Herding mix, and she needs a good home. She has an amazing story.

As told by the person who found her:

I found Frankie in Northern Minnesota deep in the woods… I have no idea how she got that far into the woods. She was in an area few humans can even get to or would know about, just the occasional hunter. We came upon her in our ATV, she was pretty frightened. When I turned the machine off and talked to her, she stopped barking and nervously crawled on her belly to me wagging her tail. I picked her up and she basically collapsed in my arms. I don’t think she spent much time with humans as every noise and sight was new to her. She weighed 19 pounds after I had fed her for three days… you could see every rib and vertebrae. Frankie was very near death.

What amazed me and my dad (I’m an  avid outdoorsman and Dad is a forester), is when we tried to investigate how she got there, we discovered a den that she had made. No dog would know how to do this, this is coyote/fox behavior. Her den was in the perfect spot, by water, by food (oak trees for acorns and sloughs for small game). We discovered a small pile of acorns as well.  She had the smarts not only to eat acorns but bring a few mouth fulls back with her. She’s amazing.

Let’s give this brave pooch a home for the holidays. Email Nick at the Minnesota Outpost: nick@bestmadeco.com for more details, and to be put in touch with her current, and temporary, owners in Minneapolis. And if you don’t live in Minnesota, and or are not able to help Frankie directly, we strongly suggest supporting your local animal shelter, and the ASPCA. Now is a good time of year to exercise some compassion for our animals in need. C.C.G.F.

UPDATE: We’ve just found out that Fearless Frankie has found a wonderful new home, with 2 other labs to boot! Thanks to everyone for their support. We’ll post more details as they come. Huzzah!
