Steve Greig, who cares for a whole crew of senior dogs, usually tries to cap his dog total at nine. His current pack, though, is 10. Meet Melvin, Fernando, Cat, Mrs. Woolworth, Raylene, Juanita, Willamena, Chalmer, Hertha, and Loretta.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Edsel had a face that even the most adoring mother might not have loved. “He looked like a creature you might find in the outback in Australia,” Edsel’s owner, Steve Greig, said recently. “He looked a little like a wombat. Or a monkey. Or a little bat.
Apparently, Greig’s efforts make a lot of people happy; his Instagram account has a million followers. He is astonished by its popularity, especially since he had never before been on social media, and had little interest in it. “I guess people have a soft spot for old dogs,” he said. The comments he receives are uniformly positive; the question he gets most often is how he manages to keep his house so clean.
He adopts another dog each time one of his gang dies, in honor of the dog he’s lost. Edsel came into his life after Phyllis died, in 2016. Usually, he waits a little to bring in a new dog, but he received an e-mail from the animal hospital the day after Phyllis died, saying that an old dog had just been abandoned there and would be sent to a shelter if he wasn’t adopted soon. The e-mail included an attachment with a very arresting headshot of Edsel.
