"Chubs, are you sure you don't want to keep Jasper with you? It's so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long."

Wendy chimed in, "It's good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around, and it's always lively. There's laughter and joy every day, it's wonderful."
