My dogs are always important family members.Sweet dog stories always make me cry and this one was no different. Our hearts are deeply touched by our animal companions. My sweet little Shih Tzu passed away on May 29, 2018 in my arms. I was devastated and still miss her. She had a personality like no other. She was a rescue that had been thrown out of a car in heavy traffic along with her brother. Her brother is still with me but he's getting older and because he was a rescue, I don't know how old he is. I dread the day when he leaves me. Thanks for a sweet story.
