Robbie was twice hospitalised

Maria said that when he entered the foster system Robbie was really frightened as he was twice hospitalized with brain injuries. Maria said that despite all the hardships he had been through, he had not shed a tear until earlier in the month when one of Robbie’s older dogs, Buffy, had to be euthanized. According to the reports, Buffy told his mother he knows how it feels not to be loved or cared for, and added that he does not want any animal of him to feel the same.

Robbie said that people do not want older people or dogs and want babies and puppies. Robbie finally wants to expand his mission to adopting foster children until he legally can do so. He has decided to adopt as many as old dogs who need a home as a part of his mission.
