Mum sent a link to this video for me to watch, because the dog reminded her of both Carrot (all soft and bearlike) and Nellie (white, with upright ears and a former stray). heartbreaking and then heart warming:
There's a real happy ending to this as well - some months later, Miley was rehomed:
Quote:
Toni, was selected among +500 applicants, and we quickly knew she was "the one" for Miley. Together with her late-husband, she raised a total of four rescue Huskies during their 40-year blessed marriage. Her veterinarian gave us a glowing recommendation. Toni also had an army of animal-loving friends (including an actress, a former Mayor, and a reputable animal rescuer) who vouched for her as a responsible, caring pet owner. Her entire home was designed to accommodate Husky-type dogs, like Miley, who may often dig holes, escape, and exhibit prey-drive.

Both Toni and Miley also understood each other on a much deeper level. As Toni wrote in a letter to Miley, "It seems like we both have been broken and have a second chance at a new life..." Toni lost her beloved husband to Parkinson's disease and shortly afterwards her elderly Husky went into the light. She also suffered from breast cancer, and had to put on her suit of armor to fight and win this battle. Toni no longer needs any surgeries and is doing fantastic!
