In 1991 I lost my beloved brother. We were like one heart and when he died part of me died and everyone noticed the change in me. I couldn't even walk without help. Then a brown poodle came into my life through an adoption. I took the dog sight unseen, and just felt my brother was sending me something to love in his place. My husband told me I was crazy! The dog sat next to us at the dinner table that first evening and my husband noticed the dog still had his tags. He read the tags and the poodle had lived three blocks from my brother in NYC. He brought me so much love and gave me reason to live once again. I just had to put him to sleep....once again I feel the need to love a poodle again. To live to care for such a loving innocent creature. I am looking to adopt a new darling.
