I was working a casino/bar and this couple's dog had 6 pups, she had them out on the sidewalk 2 hrs. after being born, her friend would sneak my Oscar into the bar at 1 wk. old so I could see him, he was the runt, they would sit at the bar and pass the puppies around and everyone giving them whatever they were drinking to the pups. I just couldn't stand it. She wanted $350 per pup but I told her I would give her $150 only and called my son and he brought me $75, I gave it to her and took Oscar he was 4 1/2- 5 wks old between my son and I we feed and nurtured him back and he has been by my side ever since, 7 yrs now, and not sure how he knew but I'm profound deaf and if I don't have my aids in he knows and jumps on me and barks if the phone rings or someone knocks at the door, the only other of the 5 pups that made it was the one my niece bought, the rest were hit by cars or just disappeared. She wanted to breed Oscar with his mom so they would have more puppies to sell for booze and drugs, I had him fixed that day. I love my little Oscar he is the only one I can tell my secrets to and never tells anyone else lol
