Zar

[keschete]

Just a reminder, please vaccinate and provide heartworm preventative to your dogs!

My friend rescued Zar a few months ago. He took the worst looking dog from the shelter. He knew he would not have a chance otherwise. Zar is a Malamute/ Possible Wolf Mix. He had heartworms and he was in end stage disease. He was emaciated and roaming the streets. My friend spent a night outside sleeping next to the dog in his kennel when he was really ill and he was getting better and ready for treatment when he took a turn for the worse today.....Zar died because of heartworms. My friend is devastated.

Zar was a beautiful, sweet, gentle giant. He was a huge dog. He was taller than me when standing on his back legs. But he was so sweet and gentle. He didn't desreve the life he had before my friend Chris rescued him. Please give your dogs HW preventative!!!



TRIBUTE TO A DOG

[Senator George Best, 1870]

The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.

A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.

He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.

When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the Heavens. ~

I'm sorry for your friend's loss. I see dogs at my work almost everyday and having heard some moving stories from customers of mine I know how it feels to loose such a friend. My dog has his vaccines up to date and I hope everybody does the necessary for their four paws mates.

By the way, he surely was a beautiful dog.
