When we buy a dog, we must accept that it will not live as long as we would want. They share a bit of our lives with us, but they live with us their whole lives, so we aim to give them with the greatest possible existence while they are with us. We recognize their worth in obtaining everything.

Zach Skow, co-founder of Marley’s Mutts and Pawsitive Change Program, who discovered an old dog named Henry at a rescue facility in Tehachapi, California, has this opinion. The 16-year-old dog was not as agile or vivacious as the other dogs at the shelter, and he seemed exhausted and had rough gray patches on his coat.

Zach was very moved and couldn’t bear the thought of the dog spending his last years in such a way. So in March he eagerly agreed to be Henry’s adoptive father. His goal was to make sure Henry made new friends and had joyful experiences.
