I work at an Assisted Living Facility here in Jersey. One of our residents lost her dog last December and knowing I was a Dog Lover, she asked for my help in finding her a new companion. We've been searching at the shelters and rescues for three months to find a dog with a personality that would thrive in this environment. After a few disappointing trials we found Coco, a five year old Shih Tzu mix. A great little dog who has a new happy owner. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to post photos of our residents so you can't see the new owner's ear to ear smile.

Awesome Travis!
I can't post my ear to ear smile right now either but believe me I have one after reading this and seeing Coco!

Re: Coco
As good as the dog may be and the picture here and as happy as the new owner may be,, what makes it all so great is the effort you put in to match the two of them up. Strong work!

Re: Coco
Thanks guys. this was a very rewarding experience for me, being able to contribute to the happiness of a senior citizen and a homeless dog, and I got a pretty good dog photo out of it.
