The *owner* was overseas in the military.
He did *not* know about this, nor did he get his dog back when he came home.
Rather than fostering and fixing up the dog, to be given back to him, another woman kept it.
“He did *not* know about this, nor did he get his dog back when he came home.”
I bet that was an *awkward* homecoming. It would also have been the final time I ever spoke to that bastard.
