It was the magic in your big brown eyes and the unconditional love you always gave --- you easily earned the title "The love of my life with hairy legs". The bond we had was unique. My best furry friend. My first "big boy" rescue. My heart and soul. You were THE BEST ! Until we meet again, your paw-prints will always be on my heart. Love, Mom

You were my very best friend and I love you dearly!  You brought so much joy into my life and every day was an adventure!  You loved to go for a ride, eat cheeseburgers and chase the tennis ball at the beach.....I will miss doing those things with you!  When my time comes to an end here on earth I will be joining you for eternity!  xoxo
