After a long battle with illness we said goodbye three weeks ago. Dexter was my best friend for 15 years and there is no way to fully express what a wonderful being he was, how much I loved him or how much I miss him…
“A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and 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 that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. 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.”
– Senator Vest, 1870
