We surrounded his warm bed in the guest cottage, making sure the room was filled with love.
He p*ss*d *w*y incredibly peacefully. He was wrapped tightly in a heated fleece blanket, his heavy head resting safely in Arthur’s lap until his very last br*ath.
We gave Barnaby a magnificent, honorable send-off. We arranged a formal color guard of working rescue dogs lined up proudly along the sanctuary fence line.
Six quiet months later, Arthur joined his absolute best friend.
He p*ss*d *w*y quietly in his sleep in the little cottage. He was surrounded by framed photos of his old K-9 units and the countless dogs he had personally helped save at our farm.
His estranged son never bothered to reply to the certified letters we sent about the f*n*ral arrangements.
But Arthur was far from alone in the end.
Over five hundred people attended his beautiful, outdoor memorial service.
