Torrie

How do I describe Torrie? My best friend, an overused tag but one that said who he was. He made sure that he would be near me. When the other dogs ran to the kitchen at dinner time, he would follow them but circle back to wait for me. He sat with me when I stayed up late studying. He was by my feet when I worked. Until cancer robbed him of his strength, he slept above my head each night in bed. Then, I joined him in his bed on the floor until his last days. We called him "the best all around dog." He played with and mentored our new lab puppy. He comforted and supported our fearful shelter adopted dog, walking alongside her on walks, reassuring her that she was safe. Sorting through his photos and writing this tribute 1 year after his passing, my heart aches and my tears flow easily. We support the Grey Muzzle Organization because we experienced how precious a dog's seniors years are for their family and for them. The Grey Muzzle Organization brings dignity, peace, love and joy to the little ones in the last years.
