I really like this. I was talking to a lady at the park today. She mentioned this would be her last dog because she was up in years. She is worried what would happpen to a dog if she died. I told her to find someone you trust and ask if they will take your dog in the event of your death. She is such a dedicated owner and it seems a shame not to have a dog at her side in her golden years.
