history: When I moved into this apartment my next door neighbor had an old beagle. He was a lovely pooch. The poor dog had cancer and just before Thanksgiving he had to be put to sleep. I looked for that wee dog for weeks afterwards. My neighbor used to have an old beagle - a lovely pooch. He died of cancer just before Thanksgiving. I looked for him for weeks - I miss him.
current: That's so sad.  I've lost dogs before.  I know how you feel :(
next: Yeah. I used to see him when I was out on my porch and he'd come out for a sniff around or a tinkle. He was so sweet and gentle.
