I didn't sleep a wink that night and first thing the next morning I went and got him. He was the most wonderful little hamster and I was honoured and priviledged to be able to make his last few months as good as possible.
What a beautiful and inspiring story of the innate goodness of some human beings. I'm so glad you adopted him and made his last months happy.
