Senior Man And Dog Enjoy Their Golden Years Together
The bond between a senior man and his senior dog was perfectly captured on video in Orchard Park, New York.

They stick with us through our health issues, times of grieving, and greatest joys, and everything in between. Photo: Pixabay/winterseitler Dogs,...
