Our deepest, heartfelt condolences to our friend and longtime Animal Care Network volunteer Kathy in the loss of her friend and beloved dog “Max”.

Kathy writes:
This is my beloved handsome Max. He was such a great friend and my sweet angel. He has joined Thunder at the Rainbow Bridge, and they will wait for me there until we are reunited once again. He was sweet and living right until the very end. He peacefully passed away in my arms.

To all of us animal lovers out there these words are so appropriate!

“There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings or walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given.”
