Misc stories about their past etc.: Marley and I have matching tattoos. I rescued him from the ARL and when I asked about the number 3 tattooed inside his ear they said he most likely came from a breeder and that's how that breeder "marked" their dogs. While I completely disagree with "marking" dogs like this, I got a number 3 inside my ear in his honor. Not too many people can say they have matching tattoos with their dog!
