We brought him home as a little puppy in 2013 after my daughter took her college entrance exam.

My wife was very upset at first because the puppy wasn’t housebroken and would relieve himself anywhere in the house.

But now she has grown very attached to Champ and does all the chores needed to raise him.

I witnessed our family dog accidentally eat rat poison and pass away, which left a lasting impression on me.

He suffers from a heart condition, so he needs regular visits to the vet.

The medical bills are expensive, but the whole family chips in every month to cover the costs and take care of him.
