What a beautiful story! Rico is such a handsome boy. Who saved who is the question here! I guess it really doesn't matter does it. I'm thrilled you were able to give him an amazing home. And how wonderful that he could help fill the giant hole left in your heart. I think it's so amazing how much our hearts can expand from true love! Your story also reminds me a bit of my parents experience. They had a few JRT's over the years when one day sadly they were left with one (as their oldest passed away at age 18). The remaining Jack was so sad and lonely. As were my parents. So they too rescued a senior JRT from a local shelter. It was the best thing they could've done for all of them! So wonderful to rescue 💕 Congrats on being Dog of the Day Rico!!! 😄
