Readers of, Seeing Through the Eyes of a Shelter Dog, will fall in love with Cotton once again as they read, What is My Real Name? Cotton will warm your heart as he tells you several times what he thinks is his name. Several readers of, Seeing Through the Eyes of a Shelter Dog, asked me to tell about Cotton's life before I adopted him, but I can't do that as I adopted him from a shelter and there was no record of where he came from. Sometimes it's difficult to get background information about shelter dogs.
