A woman walked through the front doors of the Asheville Humane Society (AHS) and said, “Which two dogs have been here the longest, with the most special needs? I’m here to take them both home with me.”
AHS workers introduced the woman they identified only by her first name, Leslie, to Sam, a dog with extensive medical issues that had previously been adopted and returned; and Brutus, a senior dog with severe separation anxiety.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the adoption center as staff, board members and volunteers gathered to say goodbye to the two dogs.
