Good luck to you, sir. May you be successful.
I am from Yorkshire, but I am an octogenarian bipedal, so I am not offering my services.
I was genuinely moved when Buster went. Although my own canine pals are big enough to pat without bending down, being a Weimeraner/labrador and a Collie, the Yorkie is without doubt an appealing manifestation of the canine spirit. Best of luck in finding a new wee friend.

Thanks, mr anon. I always told him he had friends he couldn't even guess at. Didn't make him behave any better, though.
A new little lionheart will be very lucky.
