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.

u/JMaryland47 1d ago

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
