When I was a kid, a 30 lb white mutt used to appear on our doorstep with injuries every few months. My mom would take him to the vet, get him repaired, take him back home and off he'd go. After about a year of this, the vet refused to treat him. The vet said the dog needed a better life and he'd rather put him to sleep then allow whatever kept happening to keep happening.
So, my mom tracked down the owner a few blocks away, a 12 year old boy loved and did his best with that dog, but the boy's father kept kicking him and/or just throwing the dog out of the house to run the streets.
My point of telling this story - when my mom offered to take Rufus, the 12 year old boy was thrilled. He knew his father was hurting his beloved dog and wanted Rufus to have a chance. The kid was great. His father, not so much. I hope that kid grew up to not be like his father, he sure had the right start.
Rufus was a great dog, we had him 11 more years.
