                 Back to work, my list has led me to this man. His name is Thomas Dauchsand and ironically he hates the wretched creatures. He preferes loyal Golden Retrievers, like his Milly. Sadly, thats all he has now. You see, Thomas is a war veteran, and because of the country's economy, he has lost all possessions he ever had. Except for Milly, she has been with Thomas ever since he found her, as a pup, behind a trash bin outside of a restaurant. And she has stayed by his side till his last day, 13 years later. Thomas is an old man, now. not in age, but with the malnutrition and lack of sleep, Thomas has the appearance of a shriveled up, old, dying man. It's getting harder for him to breathe, as he lays in his makeshift appartment made out of cardboard. He hears scratching at his "door" and struggles to open it with his last ounce of strength to find Milly with a half full bottle of water. Unfortunately, Thomas has wheezed his last breath. Milly, being the loyal hound of a once great warrior, sets the water bottle down and nudges his hand with her snout. No response. She then cuddles up to him under his arm, and there she stays until its her time to go. How depressing... I came here for one, but I got two deaths instead.... Duty calls, off to the next.
