Ugh, that's one of those links I wish I didn't click.

Kudos to the author for so poignantly capturing the beautiful spirit of a loyal and kind pooch. RIP, Duke.

Dogs - they truly are man's best friend....

After seeing this, I thought about saying how it made me remember difficult, painful memories of the sudden death of my Doberman K-9 (Kodiak "Bear" the 1st) but I held off till now. He was the strongest, smartest, bravest, and most loyal Dog I've ever had or known. He once saved my life during an attack from a drunken and knife armed man when he counter-attacked and injured my attacker, then standing over me roaring the most ferocious growls, barks, and display of flashing teeth I've ever seen. In the 26 years since the day I lost him in a tragic accident, my heart simply has never had the room to replace him or his loyalty. Below is a graphic I made from a net photo source of a Doberman who strongly resembles Bear and to me, it symbolizes much in which there are few words....

They break your heart when they have to leave you. Miss you Max. Max in the Chilliwack River shortly before his demise.

Heartbreaking.... As a Dog Daddy myself, I certainly can relate to this story - very sad indeed! :(
