Good Boy, Charlie!
Devo did not come home. We have looked for him for a week, at shelters, in neighborhoods, online… There just seems to be no sign of him anywhere. It’s my hope that someone kept him and is caring for him now. That would be the best case scenario, short of him returning home. We’ve decided...
