Walter, best friend of more than a decade, passed away suddenly from cancer. He was my first dog, my soul dog. He taught me about true love and about bravery. We were two anxious peas in a pod, and we both grew so much in confidence over our time together. He went from a shaking dog who feared everything to a sassy (and sometimes curmudgeonly) boy who was the best brewery dog and a truly loyal companion. He was by my side through so many transitions with unwavering support. He had the sweetest, most expressive brown eyes, and even in his last hours, he kissed my tears away.
I love you, my sweet Waltermelon. I miss you desperately. Thank you for helping me reach this point in my life — I truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Special thanks to Dr. Lexi Naylor and Sabrina at Malletts Bay Veterinary Hospital for supporting us through this process and for giving Walter the taste of chocolate in his final moments.
Love,
Mom and the Crew
