I adopted the dog named Moses (in the top-left picture) after the fire broke out in our neighbor's home. The fire was caused by a cigarette. Our friend died in the fire along with her cockatoo. I know her well, who had COPD and continued smoking even with an oxygen tank. I had been walking her dog for several months. The fire broke out from a cigarette. Moses was lucky to escape when someone broke in to save him. When I was walking this dog, he was slow and hesitant because of secondhand smoke. Now he is much more energetic and doing much better. Now he lives with us in a smoke-free environment.

The dog Leon (top right picture) was given to me shortly before Moses was put down due to kidney failure. He is still active. I walk him at least two times a day.

The dog Rodney (bottom right), whom I purchased from the Oregon Humane Society, is the one I have now. Leon was put down due to incontinence when he was 16 years old.
