"I did everything with this dog," Greig said. "We were attached at the hip."
A couple months after Wolfgang's death in 2012, Greig still couldn't come to terms with the loss. He felt helpless.
"I wasn't functioning that well," said Greig, 59. "I decided to go to the shelter and adopt a dog that was probably going to be put down."

I always figured that if I outlive that asshole dog Jack, I'd do the same thing. Well, one dog at a time.
I'll be 65 this year and as much as I've worried about what will happen to my dogs after I die, I don't see getting a pup that will outlive me for sure. Adopting an older dog will give both of us comfort.
