What do you get when you go to the humane society?

I am not sure what got into me, but somehow Hope convinced me to go to the Greenville Humane Society to look at dogs. We've been wanting to adopt a Great Dane for some time now, but the rescue organizations in South Carolina wouldn't give us the time of day. We really don't need a dog, we don't have a fence, we both have full time jobs, and we have a cat. But I figured I can't put off a dog forever, and there's really never going to be a good time. But at the same time, I didn't really think we'd come home with a dog, either.
We both like labs and golden retrievers, so we looked at the various lab mixes at the GHS. We walked one that was a lab/boxer mix that was beautiful, but pulled the leash quite a bit. We knew we wanted a lazy dog, so we asked GHS which dog was the calmest and laziest. They pointed us towards Butters - a Greyhound mixed with maybe Airedale. A Greyhound is not at all what we thought we'd get, but we couldn't resist. She was great with us and great with the other dogs. She came home with us.
