Atlas would like to do "anything dog", including but not limited to... Meeting new dogs in far away places, visiting their favorite dog-parks, pet stores, doggie delis, veterinarians, and seeing YOUR dog's favorite hangouts.
As my favorite pitbull ambassador, the real Three Legged Pit, Atlas, has done a mountain of work in getting the word out that "we are not bad dogs!"
I rescued Atlas when she was about 6 months old. She had been hit by a car, neglected, then left for dead. She was brought into the hospital I was working at, where most "strays" that are found this way, especially pit bulls and similar "aggressive" breeds (haha!) are simply euthanized. For some reason, the doctors I was working with didn't even hesitate to jump in and care for her. There was no doubt the leg needed to be amputated, and she was a good candidate for it.
I was able to restrain myself the first couple of days, until she was finally nursed back to health enough to go through the surgery. As she was waking up from the anesthesia, I realized that THIS WAS MY DOG! Where have you been all of my life, beautiful?! Her recovery was fast... she was up and running within days, and at one month post-surgery, she was as physically capable as her 4-legged friends.
Atlas is now about 4 years old. Her landmarks are amazing... and every day she amazes me more. First she learned to run, and then learned how to run up and down stairs, then came swimming... she's a fish! She has a healthy selection of "tricks" that she will always do for a treat, such as sit, sit up, stand up, shake, high 5 (yes, she can shake and high 5 with her one front paw and not fall over!), she can also dance like a circus dog, and crawl on her belly. She greets every friendly person with a giant smile (especially first thing in the morning) and will lick your tonsils out of you're not careful.
She's the best dog in the world! In addition to our usual romping and hiking, she has now turned geo-pooch, and accompanys us out and about frequently (and even has her OWN cache!).

We were surprised to find Geo Atlas in this cache since he wasn't logged in there. I'll introduce him to our dog Minnie and show him around awhile and then send him on his way.
BTW: He really didn't enjoy that last cache...he was suspended over a rushing river of water. I needed a ladder to retrieve him. Anyway he's safe now.

Found Geo-Atlas while on a hike with my family during Duarte, CA wilderness day. Since I am going Surfing in the morning, thought Geo-Atlas might like to see Dog Beach in Huntington Beach.

Rescued Atlas from cache today. Will let him visit with our Geodog 'Duke' for a few days, then send him on his way when fully rested.
