Hi Folks -

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Pen. I loved my little friend who has past away, more than most human beings.

Hi Jeff

I remember your grief when your dog was killed due to a friend leaving the gate open..... it was so very sad E282689248b0eb96f0da871c2b23c9cd57575983_s..... and unnecessary.

When we brought Duke home Steve carried him in and laid him out on the floor and laid down beside his body with his arms around him sobbing and sobbing...... it really tore us up more..... he loved that dog so much....we all did, but to Steve he was his mate who was always with him and beside him through his toughest times.  Duke never let him down.... not once.
