And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
I still remember how bad a state every single one of these dogs were in when I found them in various bad situations in Thailand.
This was a surprise from the @happydoggo.com team. Talk about emotional just 3 hours before the Marathon!
