Imagine falling in love with a furry little friend, only to have someone try to take them away from you. That’s the dilemma one man is facing after his wife decided she wants to get rid of their dog. The couple got the pup 15 months ago, but now the wife is tired of the responsibility and wants the dog gone. The husband, however, refuses to let her abandon their four-legged family member. Can love triumph over broken promises?
