A great article. Thank you. We have rescued 19 dogs from being put down or wandering up to our home. We have loved them all and they us. Two times we lost four of them in a month. Nothing hurts quite the same as losing a dog, especially if you have to put them down. They trust to until the very end with their tails wagging. So sorry for your loss. We only have three left and they are all over 15.
