It depends on the dog if they feel abandoned. As for my dog, I'm sure if I gave him away and they gave him some treats and petted him, he'd not look back.
He's kinda self centered that way.... Either way, he's here till he keels over. We spoil him.
He turned 14 in August! He is a Cockatzu....its a hybrid of a cockerspaniel and a shihtzu...but he looks more like a cocker spaniel.... supposed to be the other way around.
His days are pretty much: sleep, eat a treat, go for a long walk, sleep more, sit on couch and watch TV with us, sleep more....eat....go for a ride in a Mercedes....tough life!
