I will vote, of course. And I’m glad for Macchiato that he found a home where he can cuddle with his teddy bear. Did he got his name because they found him at Starbucks? And to put a dog down because of no time is so mean… poor Abby…

I’ll be voting for sure, thank you for sharing this. I absolutely love the photo of Abby, I can’t think of a better way to put it “We won the doggie lottery and she won the people lottery.” I’m going to be sharing this with my local shelters and rescues 🙂
