dog. In this case, a beagle who was apparently about to be euthanised by his first 'family', presumably because of his long list of auto-immune ailments that need both expense and care. He was saved from a lethal injection and adopted by someone, who unfortunately passed away a few months ago, leaving him homeless again. My niece and her husband, newly weds, learnt of his plight and brought him home, much to the delight of my sister-in-law. That they all were mourning the recent passing of a furry family member may have had something to do with their wish to give a home to this beleaguered beagle.
