Well, she was right - I started to cry reading about the adoption of that wonderful dog. It is totally incomprehendable to me how anyone could go to the expense of taking care of a dog like that and not train their children any better than that. That reminds me of the story of how my Mother got a Samoyed we had when I was 14. These people at her church got the dog for their daughter when she was born so they could grow up together, but when the child was 4, she wanted a kitty rather than this gorgeous bundle of fur, so they decided to get rid of the dog. Thank God, my mother said she'd take her! Sam was the first indoor dog we'd ever had and my father wasn't pleased, but he came to love her a lot. We had her for several years (at least 10) until she got such bad arthritis in her hips (and probably dysplagia, but we didn't know much about that then) that she couldn't get up without help. It finally got so bad, Mother took her to the vet and he helped her go to the Rainbow Bridge.

People like that first owner ought not ever be allowed to have pets or children, since they don't seem to know how to take care of them. I'm so happy that Star found a human that will take wonderful care of her and will appreciate the Perfect Dog. They are with us such a short time and we ought to really love the dickens out of them while we can. Kudos to the woman that brought the story to our attention.
