My heart goes out to the border collie that you found. His story reminds me of a dog that my parents had forced me to surrender when I was in high school to the pound. His name was Rocky and if my dog is still out there some where today he'd likely be between ten and twelve years old now. Greatly in his senior years. He was the most kindhearted soul that I've ever known. 

It breaks my heart that some pet owners who feel they must give up on their pets for what ever reason, don't have the decency to at least personally surrender their pet to you to at least ensure their safety. Out of all the love that their pet showed them in their time together you'd at least think they'd feel that they'd owe their pet that much. 

I truly wish Old Roy very well and I hope he can find at least some peace and happiness with the rest of his life. It is what every pet deserves. ~ Unsigned...
