I truly expected this to end with the dog founding a startup in Haight-Ashbury, and refusing to return home.

All dogs are good.

I knew I should not have read this, every time I read stories about dogs I end up crying...

That is a good dog.

I just got back from hearing Connie Willis (!!!!) speak at the Seattle Library and got to read this. You guys, as long as we have writers and libraries and people who rescue dogs we cannot perish.
