On an early Sunday morning in August 2012 my friend James called me about a stray running loose. Dave and I immediately met up with James by 9 and harper where we were all able to coral him inside a fenced area. He was hiding behind shrubs, terrified, and tired. After securing him onto a leash James brought him home, 4 Paws 1 heart covered his medical, and that’s when his journey began.

James quickly formed an inseparable bond with Buddy and that friendship grew over the years.

When Buddy’s health started to decline James was there by his side the entire time, and when Buddy was ready James made the hardest most unselfish decision to let Buddy go peacefully.

Please keep James and Tim in your thoughts and prayers as they try to pick up the pieces of their broken hearts.

Here are some before and afters of Buddy. Gina
