To the first owners of my dog,

I really wish I could directly send you some kind of letter, but as I legally can't get your information, I'm doing it here, in the hopes that maybe you will see his face someday and read this.

I want you to know he is doing wonderful. He's happy, he has many people who love him and give him attention, and he's almost never alone for more than two hours or so.

He is such a fast learner. Thank you for teaching him all that you did. He was so happy to shake his paw for us the first day we got him. And he's never had an accident, so I thank you for that. But over the past few months he has lived with me and my family, he has learned so much. Too much for me to go into detail of what he has learned.

Thank you for raising him to be patient. Today we put a shirt on him to see how he would react. He didn't know how to react at first, but then just didn't care. The amount I can do with this dog is incredible. I have never met a dog so tolerant.

He still is so excited when he sees people, I bet you knew that. He doesn't jump as much as he used to, but he still does occasionally. His love for everything around him is so vast, I aspire to be like him. Everyone is a friend to this dog.

I wanted to let you know that he is doing well in my home. He's had to adjust to my family and I, and moving to college with me, but he's been doing wonderful. Every day is an adventure and I wish I could let you guys know about it some days. He misses you, you know.

Thank you for raising this wonderful dog I now call my companion. I don't know what I would do without him.
