More: Jess is 14. Her dad died of a heart attack. The family left her home trying to figure out what to do with her. When the fires moved in & the town was evacuated. Thank goodness the neighbors went back for her. No one wanted her, & I had been wanting to adopt senior dogs so... Poor baby lost her dad, the smoke had to be terrifying for her. Now a new home with 2 brothers and a sister & everything is different. She’s deaf, failing kidneys & poor eye sight. She lived on a cable , always outside. Now my girl is always loose, has a coat when it’s cold, & has her own heater by her bed. People say what a lucky dog & I say I’m the LUCKY ONE!
