sad: When I moved into this apartment my next door neighbor had an old beagle. He was a lovely pooch. The poor dog had cancer and just before Thanksgiving he had to be put to sleep. I looked for that wee dog for weeks afterwards.

My neighbor used to have an old beagle - a lovely pooch. He died of cancer just before Thanksgiving. I looked for him for weeks - I miss him.

That's so sad.  I've lost dogs before.  I know how you feel :(
gpt
Yeah. I used to see him when I was out on my porch and he'd come out for a sniff around or a tinkle. He was so sweet and gentle.
human
Yeah dogs are man's best friend.

They sure are. I actually prefer them to some humans I know! Do you have a dog at the moment?
human
Yes I've got one.  She's a stray that showed up to work one day.

That's wonderful, that you were able to take her in. Good for you! More people should act like that.

She's been a great dog. I've got no complaints or regrets.
