This man sounds like he's a really genuine person, and obviously has a lot of respect for his grandma. It's not everyday that this type of bond can happen, especially these days. I remember when I was growing up around 7-years-old, my parents took in my grandma's dog – a toy poodle named Scarlet (and yes she had gingy fur). That was the only time in my life we owned a dog (we were usually cat people, spent a few years with bunnies too). It was a great experience with a poodle, but I was also too young to understand how to train the dog.

Just like an older person who's human, everyone is advising routine, comfort, love, and consistency. Everyone, humans and dogs alike, need comfort and routine as they age. It's something that keeps us in our emotional homeostasis. When we're young, we're wild and carefree. We don't care about consistency or doing things properly. As we age, we become more and more grounded in ourselves and our needs, and therefore we want that routine to keep us in check.

If you had to take in your grandma's elderly dog, would you do it? Having a dog is a lot of responsibility, but when it's old it's even more. This guy is devoted to helping his family, a rare and cherished quality in someone. These days it seems like everyone is catering to their children or grandchildren a little too much. It's refreshing to see a story like this one.
