Great story.

Poor dog probably will not live a long life. We rescued a year or so old pup that was malnurished by an idiot previous owner and he died of heart failure several years too soon.

Miss you Beethoven. You were a fantastic dog.

My little buddy is snoring a foot away from me . A constant joy in my life - a true and loyal friend.

Same here. I have two. Both are right near me and out cold.

I get up. They get up. I sit down. They sit down.

Like Velcro.

And I wouldn't want it any other way.

The penalties and punishments for those who abuse animals should by far worse than what they are.

But those were some awesome years for your pup - more than made up for his horrid, previous life.

Good for you for taking him in.
