She's young, cute and could stop you right in your tracks with her long supermodel legs. So, why wouldn't you call this 8-week-old, 5-pound terrier mix anything but "Barbie?"
Barbie came to the Sammy Foundation after a South LA middle school student found her running around his neighborhood. The student brought Barbie to one of his teachers, who is known for rescuing animals. But, the teacher didn't have room for another stray.
