On February 27, 2026 the world lost a precious soul.  I lost my best friend and most loyal companion.

Duke came into my life unexpectedly.  My roommate had a Pembroke corgi puppy that we named Duchess.  Logic only said that we had to have a Duke as well.

He was chosen from a picture on the breeders website, and my life was never the same again.  I would not change even a moment of the time this world chose to give us.

He was quiet and shy but loyal to the bone.  He was distrustful of “people” strangers but loved to meet most dogs. He was a disciplinarian and was often put with puppies in the daycare to teach them manners.

He was a my light and will be missed every day and forever
