Dogs are not just pets, they are family. Anyone who lives with dogs has sentiments attached with them. They can not go a day without being with their four-legged friends, and they love to spoil them rotten. However, every soul on earth is here for a limited time, and it shall depart when it’s days are over. It’s deeply sad, but this is the biggest reality of life. Dogs usually live up to 10 to 13 years, but their lifespan varies from breed to breed. So, when these furbabies finally cross the rainbow bridge, they leave their owners in a life long grief.

Say hello to Eyeore— the first dog Steve adopted after Wolfgang passed.

Eyeore is a 12 year-old Chihuahua with murmuring heart and knee problems. Nobody wanted to adopt this poor doggo, but Steve opened doors to his loving home for this fellow. Steve grew up with parents that loved animals, and he has taken after them. He has immense love for all kinds of animals, not just dogs. Other than the 9 senior canines, Steve has a rabbit, four chickens, two ducks, a turkey called Tofu and a pig named Bikini. This is what Steve said in an interview:

“It was just devastating. After a few months, I finally decided I needed something good to come out of his death. It was so immediately healing that I knew this is just what I was supposed to do. From then on, I only adopted senior dogs. I heard about another one that needed a home and then another one, and I just kept expanding.”

That’s a beautiful Family photograph.

Wow! This is indeed rewarding to adopt those who everyone else has neglected. Senior dogs are full of love, and they are just as playful as a puppy. They might be a bit slow due to their age, but it doesn’t mean they don’t know how to have a good time. Steve Greig has taken a great initiative of adopting senior dogs that often get overlooked by people. We really hope that more and more people realize how much love and care these dogs need. We wish every dog gets to know what it is like to have a family that loves them. Do share our thoughts about this in the comments below.
