The one thing I know for sure....Mason could not have handled Petey. Petey would have ruined his life. Mason was super mellow and would have had to again be bottom dog again. I am thankful that he at least had 3 months of being the center of attention in our home, and my love. We all truly loved him with all our hearts. He could actually smile, and the last months of his life did so very often. Had the most beautiful eyes of any dog I've ever seen. Thanks everyone.
