Cleo used to be a companion dog to an old lady who passed away. She was taken over by her builder who developed a particularly strong bond with her. They lived happily together until the builder packed his bags and left the farm he was working on. He left Cleo alone at the farm. For months Cleo would sit on the road from where she saw her master leave, crying for him to come home. He never did. The farm owner has been feeding Cleo for six months now but can’t take her home because he already has three dogs who would fight with her. He says he has never seen such a well behaved dog but she is pining for company.
The Bean and I have decided that we would like to take Cleo in and give her a happy loving home. We fetch her tomorrow morning. I can’t wait!
Hooray for Cleo! I am happy for all of you!!!

Poor Cleo…who would just up and leave a dog like that! She needs stability! Sounds like you and Bean have been given a great gift in the face of your own recent loss. You will be good for each other!!
