I wasn't gonna do this because it makes well up every time...



After reading this line, I couldn't bring myself to read the

The saddest day of my life was when I had to take my beloved

abused puppy, four months old, when I was in college in Fla.

He lived 16 happy years, and was my best friend ever.
