We were gifted, not that long ago, with our very special boy that was filled with so much life, happiness, courage, strength, and love to the very end. Never wanting to give up on anything or anyone. Never met or done harm to a single living sole. Would do anything you asked even if it meant doing something he didn't want to do. Would always cry out too you when you left him alone, as in protest because you didn't take him with you every time. Our wonderful boy, with such gusto and enjoyment, gave special attention, just being himself, too many in nursing homes, hospice care, children, dog shows, family, friends, neighbors, pets, and large functions. A special dog that many wanted to take home with them, whenever they first met him. One that helped many get over their fears of the breed, large dogs, and past experiences. Always good natured, never done wrong or ever wanted too!
It has taken some time to share this publicly and believe in me that it comes with great sadness to inform all of you the passing of our boy, Doc, when he left us Friday, the 13th, around 11:30 am. He lost his battle to cancer. He put up a long strong fight and was determined to beat all odds, in his own courageous way! However, this horrible disease just wouldn't leave his poor body alone, attacking every inch of him, except his loving heart and beautiful spirit. Doc was 11 years, and 2 months, to the date.
