for my father no he will not take care of him? look what happened to that other dog, plus my father works all the time, does not really take breaks i am surprised he has not fall, en from a heart attack or something oh well cancer? it has not come back as yet? hopefully to be gone forever, but that dog needs better parents for he is a pet, not a prisoner, so sad to watch but i would not willingly get a dog, a cat maybe i would get, for so sad, it would not look!
