| | Today I lost my dog. He wasn't my dog originally but my Grandma's dog. She was a great strong lady. She couldn't afford much and was struggling in her final days. She had neighbors that were a couple addicted to drugs and very abusive to their dog. She would always hear them abusing the dog and even physically hitting him from time to time to the point it would cry in pain. One day the boyfriend went to jail so girlfriend up and left to stay with her mother. The dog was left behind though. My mother took this dog in (even being barely able to afford to support her self) and turned this dog from a sad beaten puppy into a happy thriving dog that was well trained. He could sit, play dead, shake your hand, he would never escape the yard or run away when I took him for walks even off a leash. She put so much effort into the welfare of him and it showed. You can still see remnants of the sadness in his eyes from his hard early life. He really loved my nan, he cried so much when she died but eventually me and him became bestest of friends. I will forever miss you Rudy. Fly high you Angel. [link] [comments] |
