(A bit tough, too, but crying cleans out the tear ducts, so thanks - I'm better now.) Luckily most of the ones I've met and helped weren't that bad off, but there have been some who obviously had bad memories. If your story helps any grey or any rescued dog find a good home it will have been A Good Thing, which is somehing to be proud of.
