I love Frank, and am keeping in touch with him, but there is a slight correction needed here. The handler (who is my son-in-law Jim Hall), did not "lose" the dog...the dog climbed a six foot chain link kennel, and squeezed through the 8 inch space between the kennel wall and the roof! He did indeed run into the street, and was hit by two cars. Jim Hall took him to our vet, Dr. Keith Norton, who kept him for months, slowly grafting new skin and fur over one entire side of his body. Dr. Norton kindly took payments, and JIM HALL paid the entire $3,500 vet fee. As I said, I love Frank... but I love Jim more. Syd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe one of his dogs was lost by an akc show handler and the dog was hit by a car. the dog was not a youngster. yet he spent thousands of dollars to get him healthy again while he sat across the country at that vet clinic so he could bring him home instead of just saying well let's put him down it's cheaper! oh! and frank's old dogs stay until they die. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
