Helping a dog separated from his "person".

[Anonymous]

We took in my late father-in-law's small breed dog when he went into assisted living. She was 5 at the time, a lap dog and he was totally her person.

She ended up bonding with me because I was home most and did most of her care. When fil would visit us for the day, she'd only sit with him for a few minutes, then always come to me.

She ended up living with us longer than with him and died the year after him.
