Rip’s owner gave him up because changes in his job situation meant he had to leave the dog home alone too many hours a day. Not a good situation for a one-year-old GSP! His foster dad gave him a taste of the good life, including daily runs, car rides, trips to the beach—and above all, companionship. Soon he was describing his foster boy as “stellar” and “snuggly.” Of course, they bonded. Thanks so much, Phil, for fostering and adopting Rip (now Ripley).
