I mean, that's what I'd feel like. I love dogs and losing them is like losing family.<br /><br />Another thing with dogs with (long) history, is that they can be rather unpredictable now matter how well they behave with humans and other "pact members". One large dog that was adopted by its owners (from a shelter) attacked our Finnish spitz and now our dog is forever scared of dogs bigger than her :/ Same dog was described as being sweet and kind to everyone, but it ended up attacking another dog later that got even more severely injured than our dog. Of course it's not the dog's fault, but its owners, because even though they didn't know what kind of history the dog had, they didn't keep it leashed. I think it was some kind of shepherd breed, which has a large territory, so they would have needed to keep it leashed even in their own yard (since it was able to run away and attack other people's dogs).<br /><br />I don't mean to say all dogs are like this and given the chance, I would definitely adopt an older dog and give them a great home for the rest of their (short?) life, but I also understand people who feel like a puppy is a better choice, as they are a "clean canvas". Sadly that's one of the reasons why so many dogs end up in shelters, because people take puppies, don't train them but expect them to behave properly from the start. It makes me so sad, but thank goodness there are people like you, who will adopt abandoned dogs. I wish I could too, but no dogs allowed in my apartment :(HuggyHarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869917667262263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566602409043396856.post-43301053058922347722016-07-07T08:32:59.354-07:002016-07-07T08:32:59.354-07:00I'm not really a dog lover..

It's a shame that senior animals often get overlooked when people are looking to expand their family. I applaud you for taking in Lucy! I hope she will be very happy where ever she ends up making her forever home. <3 Lovely dress too!
