Bandit was literally left inside a dumpster with his nine brothers and sisters mere hours after their birth. Fortunately someone discovered the tiny pups and rushed them to Pet Network Animal Shelter in Tahoe where vets would check them over and volunteers would foster them.
Beverly Keil was a volunteer and an admitted cat person but she stepped up to the daunting task of taking responsibility for two of these orphans. Feeding them every two hours which at the beginning they didn’t even know how to suckle. Rub their bellies to get them to piddle and poop – a task their unknown mother would have done. Keep them warm, sheltered and safe. And even with all that knowledge and care, realizing that some of the puppies would likely not survive. They were too young and no one knew what variety of pests and bacteria they had been exposed to in that dumpster.
Bandit’s sister did die as did three others but in the end, six of the puppies – which DNA results state they were crosses between Border Collie and Doberman – were neutered and found their forever homes.
Every once in a while, you need a happy-ever-after ending to a story about our overpopulation of cats and dogs. So many are euthanized because their owners refuse to be responsible for their pets and any litters that may be sired or born. But in this instance, the cruelty of the owner is trumped by the generous hearts and Lady Luck smiling beneficently on these small pups.
Oh, and there are lots of pictures taken from the day Kiel received Bandit and sister to the pictures supplied by Bandit’s new owners who take him kayaking and hiking and cross-country skiing!

About Beverly Keil Author Of Diary of a Dumpster Pup Book
At retirement, I moved to Lake Tahoe and began volunteering at the local humane society. I had an experience of a lifetime mothering an abandoned newborn puppy. A story was there, I just had to put some nice words to it. And plenty of photos. “Diary of a Dumpster Pup” is a little book with a lot of heart. “Sleepless in New Orleans” takes you along on our mission to rescue 100 dogs and cats from hurricane disaster areas and rehome them. Includes photos.
“Pickleball: The Bitchin’ Kitchen'” was fun to write while I was in COVID-19 “house arrest.” Pickleball is such a fun sport, I wanted to create a book that reflects the laughter and joy. There are plenty of vivid tips along with the quips.
