Buddy was found early one morning running down a busy street, his dark gray coat blending in with the road surface making him almost invistible. Fortunately my son-in-law spotted him, opened his car door and Buddy jumped in! They were unable to find his owners and were unable to keep him in their apartment so we agreed to take him. The vet thought he was 12 or 13 at the time, he had to have 18 teeth pulled, had a bad heart due to the infection from his teeth, had cataracts in both eyes and was totally deaf but was such a sweetie that we fell in love with him. In spite of all his problems he loved life! He loved to run on a leash, his long legs making it hard for me to keep up with him. He would sit in your lap every chance he got. We took him everywhere with us, sometimes even sneaking him into hotels by hiding him under a coat, he would remain motionless and never barked. We were blessed to have him in our lives for just 3 short years, but what an impact he had on us!
