I can't believe that a dog who was a family companion for 12 yrs. could be dumped. I love the reasoning...She doesn't think the dog could adjust to life in Ohio? No, what will be hard is adjusting to life without his family. You're a sweetheart for trying to help him. Sadly, so few families want seniors, but don't stop trying. He's sounds very special. I know you'll do all you can to help him. Poor guy
