I agree to never leave my dog in a car when the temperature is warm. A cracked window does not work.

My best friend is now in heaven. The most significant part of me left this earth. He was the friend I always looked to and was my biggest role model. He was there through thick and thin. He always picked me up and loved me for who I was. I knew this day would come, and I would have nightmares about it starting when he was young. I never left him at home. I wanted to spend every second with him. Stud has explored most of the United States except the upper east coast.
Spending hours every day with him, starting with a pup we walked together. Then he became faster, and I started running. Soon I couldn't keep up, so I bought a bike. We went biking, hiking, and swimming all over. He was my adventure buddy, he was my best friend. As time went on or it was hot, I traded in the bike for a longboard. Then last year, we would go for long walks. However, he would still go on insane 14ers at 11. I would forget his age because his looks and agility stayed steadfast. Everywhere I took him, people commented, "Wow, he's beautiful." Little kids would say, "Mommy, look a wolf!". Even on his last walk battling cancer, he was continuously complimented. I don't know which one of us loved each other more. The truth is a human is not capable of loving someone to that degree. Humans are flawed, whereas this very precious soul was perfect. Unconditional love and loyalty. I was his life, and he was mine. I wish he was still here. It kills me. It's unfair, and I would trade everything to be with him.
I told my ex no, a thousand times when she said she was getting a puppy. I already knew. I would become extremely attached, and this new friend would be my life. I fully understood at this age that a dog only has its owner. That's it.Its life entirely depends on its owner. People have friends, family and can come and go as they please, but not a dog.
Most people didn't understand Stud. They thought he was unkind since he did not trust anyone except for his mom and me. It sent most people into a spiral. People often feel they should be able to tell dogs what to do and control them.
I did some things ordinary dog owners would do when training a puppy. I didn't realize it then, but I regret them now.
I have thousands of pictures, most of them he was camera shy. Each picture holds a precious moment we shared, capturing the joy, companionship, and unconditional love we experienced together. From playful adventures to quiet moments of snuggling or playing, this collage is a tribute to the special bond we shared.
As I reflect on all of the memories, I am reminded of the happiness and pure joy that Stud brought into my life. His cleverness, playful antics, crouching down with his wagging tail greeting me, and gentle presence will forever remain etched in my heart. Though he may no longer be physically by my side, his memory lives on, bringing a smile to my face and instilled within me a deep understanding of how to carry myself in a manner that reflects integrity, compassion, and authenticity. His influence has shaped my identity and will forever guide my actions and interactions with others.
This is a celebration of the wonderful times we shared and a reminder of the unconditional love we experienced together. May his spirit continue to shine brightly and inspire beautiful memories forever.
Forever in my heart, forever my best friend.
