I am a retriever, that’s obvious, but look what I found in the sand at the beach:

Sixteen year-old female Husky named Peppy has called her 2 1/2′ X 7′ outdoor metal cage home for fifteen years. Her living situation was noticed three year ago. Offers were made to buy her, walk her, build a fence in the yard and so on. The owner has yet to take [...]
