Jack Monroe has a good friend in Buddy. At 8 and a half years old that's a really good thing. "He's Jack's dog," said his mom Kim. Jack saved half of the money needed to pay the fees associated with bringing Buddy home. Buddy was a rescue dog. "He was a $400 rescue dog," said Kim who noted that they saved him from a 'Puppy Mill'.
So now Buddy sleeps next to Jack's bed, in his kennel.
They think he is 2 or 3 years old and he is a Papillon and Chihuahua mix.
