A New Life
Because Taco was an old dog, his owners knew that there was a good chance he wouldn’t recover despite everything they were doing to help him. They knew they had to do everything they could for the sake of Merrill, who now returned past favors by never leaving her friend’s side. Low and behold, Taco’s condition started to improve!
Happy Ending
Taco’s condition improved to the point of stabilizing and while he wasn’t at risk of heart failure anymore, he did still have to take his medicine which included anti-seizure meds and steroids to treat his respiratory disease. Regardless, Taco lived a full life and had tons of fun with his best friend Merrill and their new family.
