"Where's my money, Pam?"
Something's wrong with Mama and Jolly knows it. He wishes he could help, but he doesn't know how - and a dog can only do so much.
All of Mrs Gracie's money is gone and she suspects her new keeper, Pam, who has been "really taking over" here lately, tricking her into signing some papers she doesn't really understand. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile."
Mary Grace Hornbuckle Moore of Jasper, Alabama, has Alzheimer's and she's not exactly at her best these days, but she's not going to take all this lying down because she's a tough little lady, a coal miner's widow, who had to learn how to take care of herself after the death of her beloved Chub from black lung - and she's not forgetting anytime soon.
Mrs. Gracie named all her black cocker spaniels Jolly and several are now lying in her pet cemetery in graves marked by wooden crosses out by the apple trees. "I did that to remind myself to always be jolly like a fine Christian lady should."
Remaining jolly is getting a lot tougher these days, however. Each year, $2.9 billion is stolen from senior citizens by con artists, sometimes members of their own family. Get facts, figures and tips in the final chapter. Scroll up and find out what Mrs. Gracie does next with just one click.
