Got a knock on the door about 2 hours ago,it was a young man with a big dog and a huge problem. The man had lived with his dad until being made homeless when his dad upped and left,his dog is 18months old and been with him since a pup,the dog was beautiful and so well trained,the young man has found a place for himself but his dog was turned away and as he said we were his only hope.
OH is currently taking man and dog to a rescue who kindly pulled out all the stops to help us despite it being out of area ( it is a rescue known and trusted by me); I feel so very sad for both the dog and the young man who really loves her,the best I could give this man was a printed photo I took of his beloved girl; I feel so upset that I couldnt have kept her for him; hopefully she will be lucky and find a home quickly and I hope this young man falls on happier times.
We just dont realise how lucky we all are.
