    Rest In Peace Cocoa.? I’m so sorry that you weren’t properly socialized as a puppy, taught manners, and treated fairly. People are to blame, not you. When I read these comments about Cocoa it makes me terribly sad that none cared to save this girl. She’s like too many others in the GONE;( file. Overlooked, misjudged, and unloved. We have failed these dogs. ?
