South Bay Best in Show: A pug named Tuna
From her owner, Kasey:
"Yes her name is Tuna. Tuna is a purebred pug we rescued from Little Angels Pug Rescue when she was just 6 months old. She was rescued from a hoarder house, where she was piled amongst trash, dirt and her siblings in a small cage.
"When we first met her, her name was Una, which was significant because she had only one eye. It was unsure if this was caused by a birth defect or from her neglectful months in the hoarder house.
She was timid and would shake if anyone even tried to touch her."
Looks like she's come a long, long way from those days. Amazing what a loving home will do for a dog who had a tough start in life.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
