Had a doctor appointment this afternoon. As we were talking, the subject of dogs came up. She and her husband have 4 dogs but she talked her husband into looking at a Cavalier spaniel (her favorite breed) at a local rescue this past weekend.
They went and did a meet and greet with the dog and three of theirs. It went well, but while they were in the meet and greet room, another family with two little kids walked into the lobby. The spaniel could see the kids through the glass and immediately started pawing at the door to get to them.
The adoption coordinator asked my doctor if she wanted to adopt the dog and she said yes, but that it appeared the dog had already picked out another family.
Sure enough, the family with the two little kids ended up adopting her.
Sad for my doc but those kids and the dog must be thrilled. Not everybody would be willing to let the dog go like that.
