Here is a photo of my dog, Gus, who was killed by some men trying to rob my house. They broke into my vehicle, used my garage door opener, and tried to get to the house. Little did they know, Gus and Angel were in there relaxing. Gus took off after them. Angel stayed by the door not letting anything come near it. The thieves hit Gus with their car 4 times and killed him. He was such a good dog, and he loved everyone. (Everyone except someone he knew wanted to hurt his people I guess.) If you have a dog, please give it a hug tonight! Rest in peace my big teddy bear!

oh this just made me cry I am so sorry for your loss and what a beautiful dog Gus was. I really hope that these evil excuses for human beings were caught and paid for what they have done although no amount of punishment will be enough!
my 2 boys have been given mega hugs xx

This is just and There is a special place you know where for someone who'd do this.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, brave boy with us.

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
His time on earth is short, he said,
So love him while he lives.

It may be six or seven years,
Or twelve or then sixteen,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,
And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend he will,
Be loyal all the while.

He'll bring his charms to grace your life,
And though his stay be brief,
When he's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

Whatever love you give to him,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow his lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasure.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joy this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.

"But shall the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand."

Thank you for your kind responses about my sweet boy, Gus. He was a dog we adopted from an animal rescue group after he was beaten to within an inch of his life. He was the gentlest, sweetest dog you could ask for.

The guys who did this to him were caught, and I have spoken with the district attorney. They are going to charge them with attempted burglary and an animal cruelty charge. You can bet I will be there when that goes to court with my pictures of Gus!

I somehow think he was a very special dog. Maybe in ways you can't even begin to understand right now.

I wonder if your SPCA might be interested in the case as well. I hope they get the maximum penalty that your laws allow. Will you update us?

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

Pea-n-me---He was a very special dog! As for the SPCA, we don't have a local chapter here, but we do have several animal groups who are already rallying for his memory. He will be well represented in and out of court. It's just hard right now watching my two boys ages 3 and 6 dealing with their grief of missing Gus. They loved him a bunch!

I just read your post about Gus, and I am sooo sorry! I'm literally crying right now. I agree with linda - there's a special place in hell for creeps who do stuff like this. Please keep us posted when these @#$@! go to court and are punished. My prayers will be with you.

Thanks for the book idea Pea-n-me. I actually teach Pre-K and love Cynthia Rylant books. I am running out to Books A Million today to pick that book up.

Here is another photo of Gus and then two of Angel. She is still with us and will be 12 this November. Gus and Angel had been together for 11 years. She misses him too.

The next two are of Angel

Oh, I am so sorry, that is the saddest thing that I have ever heard. I hate people who hurt animals. This made me cry. RIP Gus.

I feel so bad that this happened. Did this happen recently? I hope they get jail time. Please update us on the outcome. I am sure many of us will be praying for you.

Yes this happened two weeks ago. It took law enforcement about a week to locate them, and they tried to deny it, but Gus' fur was still on the front of their car. I just don't understand people these days!!! We adopted Gus 11 years ago. My boys have never known a time without Gus. Thanks for the kind words and prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear about Gus, it made me cry. I hope in time the memories of the 11 years of joy you bought each other will help heal the pain you feel now.

I hope those *@^% get everything they deserve and more.

RIP Gus.
