More: With permission, I am entering Tyler in the contest. He belongs to a retired couple, living next door to my mother, with physical limitations. I have “adopted” him and take him for his walks. He has really blossomed with the time, love and attention he gets when we are together. He has been my salvation also. My father was diagnosed with cancer and I closed my business and relocated to be with him and my mother 10 months ago and we lost my dad in July. I continue to walk Tyler and on days I wouldn’t have gotten up, I’m grateful for my commitment to this furry friend!
