Did Chuck give up after Duke's death give reasons for your answer?.

Chuck persisted in his efforts, and after a few weeks—as though in particular honor of Duke—he was named Assistant National Sales Manager. To honor Duke's memory, he was obligated to continue. No, Chuck carried on with his work and daily activities while Duke was by his side. He had come to understand the dog's profound love, commitment, and patience in helping him regain his footing, and he could not allow all of that work to be in vain.
