They can chew your shoes but never break your heart!!!! This has happened so many times to me & my husband.
Was riding my bike 2 weeks ago. A couple stopped me & lost their dog. So I continued on my bike ride keeping an eye out for him. On my way home I was riding past their house. As I got closer the woman came out. I hollered at her "did you find him?" No she said, but as I was talking to her, she got a text saying her husband had found him! She dropped to her knees & wept. They are part of our family with unconditional love.
