Studly The Husky

My Best Friend

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.
