Wednesday was National Puppy Day. Lots of people used social media to post adorable photos of their furry companions. Americans definitely love their dogs. But what happens when dogs outlive their owners? That is going to happen to Kathleen Zuidema, a dog-lover from the U.S. state of Washington. Zuidema has lung cancer and does not expect to live much longer. She has three dogs, Australian shepherds. Zuidema is making plans for the end of her life, and she wrote this post on Facebook in March:“My heart is breaking and I'm sobbing as I write this ” Zuidema said she needs someone to take all three dogs, and not break them up. The new owner must have a large yard for the dogs to run, jump and play. The yard must have a fence so the dogs are safe and cannot get loose. But Zuidema lives on a small island in the cold waters off the coast of Washington state. There are few people on San Juan Island who would be able to take in three full-grown dogs together.
