“Leo was my best friend for almost 13 years. He was my greatest teacher and helped me to grow into a better person. We tackled fear and anxiety together along with patience, tolerance, forgiveness and joy- lots of missteps along the way, but always together. We never gave up on each other. Our daily walks totaled thousands of kilometers over mountains and streams and fields. I’m so sad that his mobility gave out long before his heart and zest for life. He was my first dog. My heart is broken. I hope we find each other again. Thank you to Dr Vanessa and MJ who made it just a little easier to let go with their sensitivity and care.”
