Keith,
I'm sorry to hear that,
but please alow me to give you my view on this,
all my life I was with dogs, quite few I gave birth to with my own hands and lived with them until I had to bury them with my own hands.
My family is my wife, 2 boys and 7 dogs,
so I can tell you that dogs are not like humans,
they will adopt to any situation very quick and have a great life,
give him love, cheer up and every thing is going to be ok
