Rusty, Earl's dog at Trinity. They loved each other and Earl spoiled him, as he deserved. Rusty is living with a great couple in the country now. I am sure that he misses Earl. Roger

Earl, so glad that Rusty the nursing home dog "adopted" you in 2022 when you arrived and that I got to meet you through him and visit you almost everyday for three years. Dear Rusty is being taken care of now. He loved you so much and you loved him. Roger
