Remolacha Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Some of you may remember a greyhound who was in a shelter in Phoenix last winter. He was pulled in January and put in a wonderful foster home. We think he probably was BC Oswald Bernie, based on what we could read from his ears. I met Bernie at several M&Gs, and he was a wonderful sweet dog (minus most of his teeth ) He was happy, and I don't think he knew he was a "foster". Sadly, Bernie was diagnosed with cancer and we lost him this last week. Go chase bunnies Bernie, you were loved. (I don't know how he ended up in the shelter, and it doesn't matter now) Quote
