Cosmo Is Adopted - New Release Offers Hope | Peggy's Hope 4U When we adopted Cosmo, all we knew about him was that his elderly owner in Milwaukee had died and he ended up in a pound in the city.

Our little guy died of pancreatic cancer a year ago, but his lessons in life will remain with us forever.
