oh my god that is sooooooo sad and i was bawling before finishing reading the first one. The second just floored me.. I wish that these peoms were given out with each animal that was sold or given away to remind people of the joy,loyalaity and love which they share with us. My french resuced old Lab, whom i have hsd for four months now, has saved my life i am sure many times with his love, companionship and antics. I wish i could afford to rescue more and thank those who do most warmly.
