I chose my dog the same way. LOL
A month after I got married, 13 and a half years ago, my wife wanted a dog. I went to the pound and picked out a little black lab / chow puppy mix that had hernia staples in its belly. I chose it because it was running around loose at the pound because it escaped the cage or something. They told me they were going to put it to sleep since no one wanted a dog from the pound with medical problems. I took it home and she is in the backyard sleeping in the sun as we speak.
