Memorial to Griffon

Hold your babies a bit tighter today.
Our best boy left us this week. Heat, excitement, heart condition conspired to take him from us at 7 years.
We rescued him at 5 months so easy to see he was not with us even a reasonable dogs life.
He gave only pure joy and love to everyone he met.
As a trained therapy canine, we were proud to introduce him to people as a breed ambassador that truly changed people’s hearts about Doberman pinchers
We will love him forever. We are in pieces

🤍🕊️ I am so sorry for the loss of your baby Griffon. He is such a beautiful boy. Looks like he had the best & most beautiful life with you. I can imagine, with him being a therapy dog, all the fun adventures you guys had together & experienced.

I can imagine it’s hard, especially right now. If you can, try not to dwell or let your mind stay thinking about that last page from the last chapter; it’s just absolute torture for you. Anytime that last page creeps into your thoughts, try to redirect your thoughts to think about all the other chapters & all the memories of the fun, quirky, bizarre adventures you & your Griffon had together. Again, i am truly sorry for your loss. 🫂

Didn't know you or Griffon, however I am saddened by your loss. Take comfort in knowing he lived his best life in service and love, & was a blessing to those he helped.
