alone in the living room even on cold nights without anyone knowing if it felt cold seeing it lonely and pitiful I started taking it for runs in the evening at first she was afraid I'd take her away so I had to forcefully take her with me eventually she got used to it and joined me for a run every evening one day the guy said he was moving to an apartment where pets weren't allowed and suggested I keep the dog as a companion feeling poor for the dog I agreed to keep her according to the landlor

her to the tall guy in the front yard One Day pinky got excited and barked wildly when her original owner the landlord's son came by after he left pinky sat at the doorstep motionless With Tears In Her Eyes it made me wonder if dogs could cry and if she was reminiscing about her childhood and waiting for her owner's return the landlord told me that she used to recognize her owner's car from afar and bark excitedly when he returned home late at midnight she couldn't understand why her beloved own

mans I didn't have experience with dogs or money for vet visits so I had to figure out minor issues on my own if she got seriously ill I had no choice but to face it alone relying on my knowledge of nutrition she rarely got sick I moved again once a roommate fed her half a chicken breast causing her to vomit and have diarrhea all night she didn't te eat for a couple days almost dying another time one of her front legs suddenly became lame but miraculously she recovered after I prayed and treated
