My Wonder dog took his final bow

On May 13th Bear took his final breath and finished his battle with lung cancer.

He played ball right up to his final morning even experiencing trouble breathing. At 2 pm he fought his way upstairs to my office to show me he couldn’t breathe and he followed me to the SUV for what became his last ride as my beloved side kick to the emergency hospital. He went into cardiac arrest when we got there and knowing the 2 tumors in his lungs had increased I had to make the decision to let him end his suffering. The saddest day of my life I lost my child, my best friend, my everything. I have had Bear since he was born Feb. 14, 2010 we did everything together and he helped many people as a service dog for 5 years. After he lost his leg he inspired and encouraged many including myself to never give up and you can do anything you want. Now the hard part of my life starts going on without him to look up at me everyday with his big beautiful brown eyes saying how much he loves me. ok mom lets go!!! Miss you Bear!! May you RIP and still stay by my side in spirit because I know I need you.
