Rocky The Westcoast Husky

Dear Rocky,

It might seem strange that I’m writing this letter but sometimes thoughts can be best expressed when written. You came to us a timid little puppy but this did not stop you from stealing our hearts. God had a plan for you none of us could have ever guessed.

A year after you came into our lives you would take on the role of listener, comforter and counsellor. This must sound like tall tale, as what dog could do all this? I was in one of the darkest places ever in my life but you didn’t let that chase you away. Instead you never wavered and stayed by my side mostly listening to my cries of anguish but you had a way to comfort with your eyes and gentle presence. You also showed me joy when I had none. My gratitude to your love for me can never be fully expressed.

We became best buds and you also became my shadow. I just had to look and you were there. As you helped bring back joy to my life we took this new found energy and put it to adventuring through the wilderness. Nature truly was your happy place. Your gift of touching people’s hearts was something to behold. Authenticity certainly wasn’t your problem because before all this starts to sound too sappy it must be said you sure did some quirky things that kept myself and others laughing and entertained.

You were taken from us in a tragic fashion. There’s a void in my life that is truly hard to express but it is also filled with thankfulness for all that we experienced together. You will be forever loved and missed.
