I recently moved, and my new neighbor is 86 year old and a retired truck driver who now sits in a wheelchair..
Then a couple of weeks ago i noticed his dog was barking all day - then at night his bark changed and my dog reacted strongly to it..
So I decided to check it out..
No one answered when i knocked on the door - so I called the landlord and told him to bring a spare key...
We went inside and he wasn't there?
I called the hospital and found him there, they told me he had fallen when out shopping..
His dog had been home alone for more than 24 hours :-(
So I took care off his dog for the next 8 days until he came home from the hospital and since that, his dog and my dog ( the dalmatian ) are best friends, now I walk his dog in the evenings so they can spent some time together ;-)
Fie 3 years (dalmatian) & Laban 10 years (terrier) - off leash chasing each other in the football field ;-)
