Just a quick update. My friend did offer to buy, or replace, or both, the dog! And the owner was very kind and generous about it, saying that at this point, she can't part with the dog, but if there comes a time that she feels like she'd be better off somewhere else, that place would be with my friend! AND she said that she would put it in her will that my friend gets the dog if anything (God forbid!) should happen to her. I thought that was a very nice and thoughtful thing to do/say. And this was before the tragic news of the accident. My atttitude toward her has just risen immensely. Thank you again for your help! At least my friend doesn't have any questions about where she stands as far as that sweet doggie is concerned!
