Wow, some might say he didn’t deserve to live even that long and others might consider it a minor miracle that he did.

Sad news. RIP Chop.

I’m more surprised he got to spend many good years as a free man, not locked up behind bars.

yep he is a common sighting around the traps - delivered him a package a few times and he helped me find a house that was hiding because of the stupid house numbering system!
