This is super long, so if you actually take the time to read Charlie’s story, thank you.

As pet owners, we all know from day one that these loves of our lives will someday break our hearts. We know the day will always come when we are forced to say goodbye. And we are so caught up in the idea of the “life expectancy” of an animal, that we never see these early and usually cruel acts of god coming for us. And come my way one did, as this week I was forced to say an untimely and unexpected goodbye to my love, Charlie, who was truly one in a million.

Charlie was a special kind of boy. The dog who makes you think you’ll never own another dog because no one could ever live up to him. Charlie was the kind of dog who was so pure and full of love (with a great sense of humor to boot) that anyone who met him instantly loved him. He was a snuggle monster and Fetch Master of the Universe. His favorite word was “ball.” He was forever bringing me said ball and tearing around the house shaking a stuffed toy. And he took every opportunity to let EVERYONE know his desire to play. If you’ve been to my home, then you have been presented with a ball by my glorious boy. But he was so much more than that. He was my constant companion. Of all my animals, he was the one who was always by my side - always curled up between my legs or wrapped around my neck. And a better smile, I am convinced, belonged to no other dog, EVER. He was so beautiful, after seven years together, I still couldn’t help staring at him in awe because his beauty took my breath away. And on my darkest of days, he never failed to make me laugh - each time taking his face in my hands while I kissed his nose and thanked him for just being him. I would see him sitting on the end of the bed just smiling at me and thank god every day for allowing me to be in his life. In the seven short years I knew him, he did more for me than I could ever have done for him. He was the kind of dog you just never took for granted.

And so I fear I would be doing him a disservice by not sharing the story of his final act of kindness.
