I'll bet the little dog is very cute, and knowing how much you love dogs, you're relieved he's OK. As for the owner, I don't understand people like that.
He's a very nice dog. Hasn't really been any problem except for the constant need for food. He sleeps well and hasn't had any problem adjusting to living here, which I thought was strange. He's the only dog Bean would tolerate when he was still with us. I really wish this hadn't happened. Bean didn't get into things like that, so I guess we just forgot that some dogs will.
