We buried Hook day before yesterday. He was a 13 year old Rottweiler and a very dear friend! He was in so much pain from arthritis that we couldn't bare to watch him any longer.
Hook was my girlfriend's dog. I only knew him for the past year and a half, but we hit it off from the beginning. Every time I would go visit he would meet me at the back door because he knew that I always had to greet him too. I loved that old boy and it was hard to say goodbye.
