This little puppy has been name Jimmy by my wonderful son-in-law. He was dumped out in the country near my daughter's house. Then a young girl tied him to my daughter's porch on her dogs lead.
Jimmy was really cold when my daughter came home and found him. She wrapped him in a blanket and then took him inside. She planned on keeping him for a couple of days until they were able to find his owner.
Sunday they had a delightful day together being happy and playing together.
Monday it was clear Jimmy was very sick. He was taken to a vet where it was found he had a serious case of Parvo. Parvo is a terrible disease caught mostly by puppies especially those that have not been vaccinated. Since my daughter didn't have the thousand dollars to treat Parvo the vet told her he would have to be put down.
My daughter has a very tender heart and so she spend the rest of the day sobbing and broken hearted. This sweet little dog didn't deserve what happened to him. But thanks to my daughter he spent his last couple of days feeling loved. I guess in the end that is all we can do for our fellow creatures and is the greatest gift of all.
