When Ellie falls asleep in boarding, this is her dream: a mom, dad, and human sibling, all enjoying a sunny day in the park, feeling totally fulfilled and surrounded by love and a ball, to boot.

Ellie's a big, gorgeous girl who gets along with other large dogs and absolutely adores people. She can jump like a Harlem Globetrotter if you toss a toy or ball into the air and would be happy to play fetch with you for hours. Even though "people" are the reason she landed at a high-kill shelter, she loves them and holds no grudges. Ellie is a better person than most of us and thinks she's probably better looking, too.
