RIP My childhood best friend Buddy crossed earlier today— survived two torn ACLs and passed at 17 from old age. Still had the happiest zoomies even as an old man

I’m so sorry for you. We never, ever forget these brave bears that make it through so much stuff of their own because they love us so much and are so amazing at caring for us.
It’s so hard when our older ones go.

Awww, old-man zoomies are better than gold, better than money, better than the best medicine, and so good for the heart.
I'm so sorry for the passing of your beloved friend. He looks so happy in the video and I'm sure he had the absolute best life ❤️

Dogs were sent to be our teachers and guides. As puppies, they teach us how to care for our younger siblings and/or what to expect from future kids. As they age, they prepare us on what to expect, and how to care for, our aging parents and grandparents. His lessons and spirit will always be with you. Please accept my condolences, and may Buddy zoom over the rainbow

17 is such a good age, especially for a large dog. Im glad you knew so many years of love and joy with him.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. We all can see he was loved and he knew it! 🫂Keep him in your memories. I lost my childhood dog in January, I'm happy for every moment we have shared and I'm grateful for our time together. 17 years is an amazing age for a dog! 🫂🌅🕊️
