Dog Travels 40 Miles To Find Her Way Back To The Woman She Loves

4. Sorry to do this-but it brought up a bad memory.

I repressed it for years.My father among other things was a horrible human. We had 2 dogs in Portola Valley on a small ranch farm.
The older dog-Ruffie-apparently got a case of worms.
Dad "took her to the vet"

It was about 2 weeks later. Just before Christmas and a light snow on the ground-which was very rare. Ruffie came up the drive and we darted to see him but our mother drew us back. He had walked 30+ miles from where my dad dumped him. I'm pretty sure he went to shoot him & the dog ran off. But he loved us kids & he made it home.

My Dad took him away & shot him.


Because taking him to get actual care would have cost $30.00 actual money in the 60's....

He was a millionaire thanks to his Daddy that was chump change. He was just a horrible human.
Sorry.
