Colonel
was found on the side of a road. The people who live nearby said dogs
are often abandoned there because it is on the way to the Humane
Society.
Colonel had a dry eye condition that the vets said there was no
treatment for, and he was nearly blind. He was a small guy, but he lived
with the big dogs, since he didn't get along with his fellow small dogs.
He used to instantly snarl and bare his teeth at the big dogs if they
got too close, but a second later he would calm down and go back to his
nap. He spent most of his time sleeping as he got older.
Colonel was not a friendly dog. He would tolerate being talked to, but
he didn't like to be touched, petted, or groomed. It seemed pretty clear
from his behavior that he had been abused at some point in his past life.
Colonel lived to be very old (we thought he would live forever), and
finally was put down after he began having problems standing.
