Some stories stay with you forever... and this is one of them.

Mr. Winston’s owner brought him to a hotel... placed him in a crate... and checked out.

But his owner never made it out of that hotel.

And Winston?
He stayed behind... in that crate... waiting.
Waiting for his person to wake up and come back.
Waiting to be let out.
Waiting to play again.

We don’t know how long he sat there looking at, smelling, and trying to get his owner’s attention.
We don’t know what he saw.
We don’t know what he thought.
And we don’t know why it had to happen that way.

But we do know this...
✠̈ he is still full of love ✠̈

Meet Mr. Winston (possible Frenchton)
6 years old
29 lbs of pure love
Happy, friendly, and loves everyone he meets

✠̈ Why we love him (and you will too):

Knows commands: sit, stay, leave it, off, and
