What a lucky dog. You invested a lot of yourself and through your dog you helped people in so many ways. Dogs are eager to move on once they have lived a long life and are no longer able to romp and do doggie things I think. There are two thoughts that I had when losing my dogs. One...I will never ever put myself in the position of feeling this kind of pain again. Two: I wonder what dogs are available for rescue today? Lucky is that dog who comes next in your life! So sorry for your loss, but so glad there are people like you.
I felt the same thing after losing “the best dog in the world”,
After a week of crying, I adopted 2 more.
