Thanks, Bare....
Yes, I have been a fan of adopting older dogs for some time. My last one, Midnight, was 11 1/2 yrs old, HW positive and skinny as a rail. I rescued him, had him treated (took 2 yrs) and Midnight just passed away last year at the age of 17 1/2. He was a wonderful dog and I was happy to give him the best years of his life. Although it is painful to lose them sooner than a puppy, at least as others have mentioned, you don't leave them behind as we age, move to assisted living or pass on.
My answer is YES.... your friend should adopt a senior dog!!!
