The mother and son traveled several hundred kilometers on their initiative to help Pillo repair relations with her old family. They were unable to bring their dog with them when Lily Brown visited Europe.
Even though Pillo was only three years old and adored her people and family, they knew they had to leave them behind. Even though the new owners of the dog had expressed a desire to return with Pillo, they didn’t want to put them in a position where they would be forced to do so, distressing them. Lily noted.
We didn’t want someone to fall in love with her only to end their relationship with her after three years.
They, therefore, made arrangements for Pillo to move in with a man she appeared to get along with. The family was confident that their dog was having a great time with his new owner because the man constantly updated them on his connection with Pillo. In essence, Lily added, we were shocked. We just kind of responded, “Oh. Wow. That did not happen as we anticipated. They were doing fine last I heard. We didn’t anticipate it.
