Why would he be put down? This isn't Egyptian times where animals get buried in the tomb.
“Glad to hear. I was concerned that he might be put down.

Well, at the time I made my post I didn’t realize he only had the dog for six months. Sometimes, when a dog is the constant companion of someone for many years, especially an older person, they become despondent and won’t eat. Sometimes they won’t accept a new master. Consequently, there may be no alternative but to have it put down. I personally had the experience with my dads dog when he died.

Understood. :) I have definitely heard of that happening with animals. Some famous stories of it out there. Maybe when they train them for their work, they tell them to keep it on a professional level. Lol. Just kidding. Anyway, beautiful face Scully has. I know he’ll make someone else happy and be of service.
I have owned several and a couple of cats. Dogs/Cats are animals and do NOT have the same emotions or thoughts as people. They also do not have episodic memory. Never mind....
