He went from his litter home to a lady who loved him a lot but who got sick and couldn't look after him properly. So, he went into foster care until she got better. She didn't, really, get better. So he went to the Great Dane Rescue people who looked after him until he could be returned to his rightful owner. Alas, it became clear that she wasn't going to get well enough to care for him properly. So she asked the Great Dane Rescue people to put him up for adoption.
They decided to wait until after the Christmas and New Year holidays. They had had him for a few months and knew he was a lovely dog who wouldn't be difficult to rehome.
Then Lindsey rang to tell them that Sam had died. Rupert wasn't particularly pining for Sam but he wanted to play rather more than we did. Did they have a suitable companion for him.
So Hugo and two human friends and a doggie friend came for lunch on Sunday. Rupert, Hugo and Callie had a lovely visit. Rupert and Hugo seemed to like each other. When the humans and Callie went away, Hugo stayed here.
I don't think he particularly wanted to stay here. The poor thing has now had five owners in ten months if you count the litter owner. I think he had settled with the Great Dane Rescue carer and expected to go back with them. But the big advantage of the previous four homes being loving ones is that he expects to be loved. And he is very friendly and snuggly.
So welcome to Hugo, new brother for Rupert.
This is Hugo:
