I once had a beautiful American Eskimo Spitz named Duke. He was the most loyal, loving, and amazing dog and one of my best friends in his years of living. I remember everyday after school, i would get dropped off at my grandmother's house down the road from my dad's house, where Duke resided, because my dad and mom were at work at that time. every single day, Duke would come running out of dad's yarn, through the neighbor's yard, and straight into my arms. every-single-day. he died nearly 10 years ago and i still miss my friend. he protected me like none other. if he felt a threat was near me, he would scare whatever it was off in a heartbeat. he once got in a huge fight with a dog BIGGER than him because that dog growled at me. Duke was amazing and he's still in my heart
I wanted to tell you this so that you know i COMPLETELY understand your compulsion to post this beautiful entry about him. he holds a large place in your heart, just like my Duke does mine. I'm so glad that you got to have such a gorgeous and special friend in your life.
