I've gotten "free" pets a few times. This guy was the most expensive. Kona was around 4. A refugee from being a stud at a breeding program. Had been bought, then returned, then bought again by an old couple we bumped into who spotted our dog. They were about the same age. Long story about how they couldn't handle him. "Would we like another one", we'll give him to you. We did it. He required some patience and love but was a great dog. He did have a problem with eating weird stuff that landed him in the emergency vet place a few times. $1,500 a pop. Of course our other dog Hooch ended up having knee surgery at 10. Cost me around $9,000. Thankfully he lived to 16+. Many other stories with current and other former pets. They are expensive but worth every penny. RIP Hooch and Kona.
