He claimed he shot Star because she was old. She was 10 years old and was called Buttons by a previous owner. The owner had had the dog for 10 years but gave it to Mr Vella after the dog started shedding fur.
It is hard for me to grasp the thinking of people that because a dog starts shedding it is time to go. Koko sheds enough to stuff a pillow almost daily. The little I have to do to swiffer up hair is returned to me 10 thousand times in love and devotion. I'm just lucky that Celia didn't pawn me off, or shoot me, when I got old and started shedding.
