Blond lady here. As we were reading the loving tributes to these amazing rescue pets, fat guy realized he hadn't included Banjo's rescue story: Banjo was found abandoned near a dumpster in southern Ohio and eventually adopted by Kevin, a kind, generous soul and our closest friend. Kevin and Banjo went everywhere together. If a property wasn't dog-friendly, Kevin cajoled the owner into making a Banjo exception. When Kevin's health declined, he allowed us to become Banjo's godparents. Banjo visited Kevin in hospice in October and gave him a warm, farewell lick. Rest in peace, dear Kevin. Your furbaby is safe and cherished.
