this morning. I am so sad for him. He rescued her from the Humane Society. She was part pitbull and her name was Martha, which was so cool because my friend is a huge fan of Martha Stewart, so it's like it was meant to be.
Gave him a big hug and told him I love him. As a pet lover for as far back as I remember, I know an I am so sorry is never enough. Just wish I could do more. I've known this guy since he was a toddler, and have always considered him my little bother even though we aren't blood related. Sometimes life is just so sad.

BTW, Paul McCartney was inspired to write the Beatles song Martha after his dog named Martha.
