Loss of a Companion

Oh how hard it is to lose a pet. Our family pet Buddy Shiloh had to be put to sleep. After suffering from kidney failure and cancer he reached a point where we knew it was time. It was so hard to watch our friend slowly deteriorate, and even harder to hold him in our arms as he slipped away forever.

Our family decided to get Buddy for my special needs brother Chase as a companion dog. Buddy went through special training and was eventually certified to work in public with my brother. He wore a special vest and could go anywhere as long as he had it on. We got a larger animal since we knew my brother would be rough with it, and he was, but Buddy tolerated it all like a champ!We will surely miss our loyal friend and companion.
