What Fido Needs Now Is a Friend

ST. THOMAS, N.D. — When Fido was injured by a car last summer, a neighbor shot the dog in an attempt to put it out of its misery. But Fido survived and the community rallied to help get him well.

Now, the German shepherd mix has outlived his master and the same neighbors are trying to find Fido a new home.

The dog’s owner, 73-year-old Lynn Wold, was buried Thursday, leaving Fido without a place to live.

After all that Fido has been through, “I just know that Lynn would be really upset to have the dog put to sleep,” said neighbor Darla Siewert.

She said she would take Fido herself, but she already has two dogs and six cats.
