Indeed a great story! Lucky dog that had a great life! Makes me want to go to the animal shelter and give another dog a good life.

The thing is, we just can't, because we would be to much at work to give the dog the attention he or she deserves. We used to have dog sitters, like nephews and nieces an an old grandma. The nephews and nieces are to busy with school and grandma is slowly going senile. I could ask a neighbor but I don't want to be that dependent. You have to plan like we all know years a head with a dog.
We just have to accept that this was our last dog. I must say, I always liked being at home, but the last weeks without a dog we are rather away. The house feels empty.
