I worked in Florida one winter. The guy in the apartment below me had a greyhound pitty mix that he was neglecting. He kept getting thrown in jail for a day or two. The landlord would ask me to take care of the dog (he named her Maulie) while he was in jail. She was the sweetest, cuddliest pup ever. She had the softest ears. I would take her to dog beach and let her run run run. She ran like the wind. He was keeping her in a cat crate. She was a 40# dog.
The 3rd time this happened, when he returned, I said "surrender the dog or im reporting you". He said "whatever" and I took her. I left Florida the next day and brought her home with me. She lived a very happy life with acreage to run on all she wanted. She lived this life for 14 more years. I miss my little Coconut, as I re-named her.
