Thank you so much for posting that piece. Like the author, I had — and lost — a Doberman after many wonderful years of loving companionship. It has not been five years since Baron left, and I still tear up at the thought of losing him.

No friend could have been more loyal. No “son” more loving. No companion more faithful.

I often think that when I die, the first sight I want to see on Heaven’s celestial shores is Baron bounding toward me, tail wagging, eyes filled with love, his entire being resonating the unique bond I “have loved long since and lost a while.”

We had our sons English Bulldog at the vet the other day and it dawned us that we had lost our beloved Dobie almost exactly a year ago in November. Same vet. We rescued her from a stake and chain when she was 1. She had never ridden in a car before. She howled almost the entire ride home in glee. We took her to obedience training and she became my wife’s best friend. For 10 years she was the best thing that ever happened in this house other than the birth of our son.

Last November we took her to the vet after running back and forth for a year trying to diagnose her weight loss. $700 later they found a huge malignant growth and it was inoperable. She died in my arms and those of my wife. We would not let her go alone. We owed her that. She was our only daughter.

She is missed. Keep a look out for a young female dobe that needs a fenced in yard for us. Thanks

I have an unintentional cross of a Dobie and a Belgian Malinois who will be one year old next month. Absolutely every living, breathing creature is her best friend. But, oh my, the energy! It is impossible to wear her out.
