Not to do a 180 here, but the decission has been made to put him to sleep. Something about the papers stating that in the death of owners, the dog was to be put down.
This is a good example of having your dog in your will. MIne are- who is to care for them etc.
I am calling off the hounds as they told me the decission has been made to put him down.

There may be a reason why there are papers stating that if his owner's died he should be put down.

The dog I have now isn't a problem and if something were to happen to me he would be well cared for.

But....... many years ago, I rescued an Akita from a small animal control that I did volunteer work for. He had been through many homes and had been abused but was a very sweet boy. Because of his past, the decision had been made to euthanize him rather then send him to yet another home with a stranger that didn't know him. That was when I stepped in. The agreement that was made with the A/C director was that if anything happened and I could not take care of him, he would be put down.

It upset me too. I mean we were within 30 minutes of getting him out of there. The son brought some papers in stating from the mother ( also previously deceased) to put him down. I was told by Jenni ( the head of the rescue) that some border collies never accept when a owner dies- common in the breed for this loyality.
