I took time to read comments to this post and I'm really really grateful to every single answer, every single short message. I'm deeply grateful to you for taking the time to read and then answer to my ramblings.
Your story gives me hope and reflects the terrific abiliy of human beings to always ovecome troubles and dark times. I never had the chance to take care of a dog, but I imagine the love that a little dog (or giant dog, for what matters) can give you.
Again, thanks for your message and your story, you gave me hope, your story gave me hope. I'm going to mess around in stacker news more often I guess, I like the feedbacks from this community.
