This wasn't really my adoption, but my student's.
Matt was a great sport and read and answered our many letters and e-mails. The puppy is now safe in a cabinet at the front of our school- Nackawic Elementary School, Nackawic, New Brunswick, Canada.
The class is charmed by the sculpture and are deciding what to name it although there are those who insist it's name is "Lost Puppy". Naming brings us to the question of gender, Matt, so you will still be hearing from us. Thanks for playing. Peter

It took longer to give up the puppy than I anticipated. After hesitating over many worthy offers, I finally succumbed to the cajoling letters of Peter Gorham's fifth grade class in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Sounds like a good place to send a puppy.
