Dad was found dead last week and the poor little guy went without food or water for approximately 3 days. The "Father's" Son is here from Colorado until Sunday and will take the dog back with him if necessary (he promised Mom he would take care of the dog if something happened to both of them). The problem is the Son has a large Labradoodle at home and two children 1 1/2 and 3 years old! Ouch!!! The Son would very much prefer to find a good home for Toby here in The Villages if possible. The problem seems to be one of timing. I am sure if we had 2 weeks, finding a home for Toby would be no problem, but the Son must leave Sunday. PLEASE SEARCH THROUGH YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS to see if you can come up with a suitable adoptive Mom or Dad for poor little Toby.
UPDATE 10/18/10 : The family has
agreed to take Toby back to Colorado per RDOG2.

This is such a sad story. How could this happen in TV where most of the houses are so extremely close to one another? Don’t neighbors look out for each other in TV?
If the resident was found dead and the dog went without water and food for three days, does this mean the resident was also in the home with his dog for those three days (dead)? Didn’t anyone notice his absence?
If the man was found dead (perhaps in his yard) and then taken away, wouldn’t anyone on the street know that there was a dog still alone in the home and needed care?
Most dogs will bark if they need water or food.....didn’t any neighbors hear him?
I’m such a dog lover that it’s always upsetting to me whenever I read of animal neglect, but I would not expect to hear of something like this in TV.
Like everyone else, I hope his future home will work out for the little guy.
