Tobie, an English Foxhound rescue was excited to attend Hope Lutheran Church’s annual blessing of the animals Saturday morning at the church’s main campus in The Villages. Tobie was rescued from a shelter in Greece by Christine and Peter Aiello of the Village of Collier. They were traveling through Greece and stopped at a shelter. Tobie immediately started following Christine. The couple liked the dog,a but did not adopt Tobie until they visited the shelter a year later. Tobie once again attached himself to Christine, who told her husband, “We must adopt him.” Tobie has adapted to life in The Villages, according to Peter.
