"My sister works at an animal shelter. She originally had a Boston Terrier and Chihuahua mix set up for me. It was a girl, and she was scared to death of men. She would not sit on my lap. She'd jump off every time. But Edwin was there, too, and he kept jumping onto my lap and sitting there. And I kept saying, 'No, I'm not taking you with me.' And when I got home, I thought about it, and i said, it just makes the most sense for me to take Edwin. He chose me."
