See, where I'm from, that's a GOOD quality in a dog. You have to seriously wonder about somebody's priorities when they'd give up a perfectly good pooch for a rodent. But, all's well as ends better, as the Gaffer used to say, and Brutus ended up with you. I wonder how happy "former owner" is with his vermine.
Note to all ferret-fondlers. I'm not dissing ferrets per se. I'm just saying no rodent could ever be as good as a dog. Especially a dog like this. Look at his face. Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Is he a good boy? Yes, he is. Yes he is a good boy. (presents kibble)
