Longing To Be Free

Childless couples with dogs moving to the suburbs for the sake of their pets.

Fun story, what with owners named "Whitney" and poodles named "Bailey", and it's almost impossible to imagine quite how, exactly, there can possibly be such a thing as a "husky-chihuahua mix", but if this is a trend, the realtor in me says we should encourage it.
