Michael James Knapp and his family never intended to add a second dog to their family. However, the stray they named Dixie had other ideas. Dixie joined the Michael J Knapp family seamlessly. The kids, Kim Rose and Michael James Knapp Jr, adore her, as does Michael's wife Amber. They were thrilled to add a second dog, but shocked when two weeks later, Dixie had a litter of puppies. The puppies stayed with the Michael J Knapp family for twelve weeks and then went on to new, loving homes. Dixie is still with the family, but took a trip to the vet to make sure the family didn't have another litter of puppies.
