I read about Jake’s passing on Thursday morning, and that night our 12 year old Black Lab went into seizures and died.

It was the most horrible night of our lives and we take comfort in the fact that if it was his time to go, he was in good dog company with Jake.

A FAITHFUL DOG

A Faithful Dog Will Play With You
And Laugh With You - or Cry -
He’ll Gladly Starve To Stay With You
Nor Ever Reason Why,
And When You’re Feeling Out of Sorts
Somehow He’ll Understand
He’ll Watch You With His Shining Eyes
And Try to Lick Your Hand.
His Blind, Implicit Faith in You
Is Matched by His Great Love -
The Kind That All Of Us Should Have
in The Master Up Above
When Everything is Said And Done
I Guess This Isn’t Odd
For When You Spell “Dog” Backwards
You Get The Name of God.

Thank you for posting about this sweet guy. What a great contribution he made to the cause of human well-being in his brief life - would that many of us could claim as much.

Hi. My 8 y/o daughter heard about Jake the rescue dog. When she received a black webkinz yesterday, her first thought was to name him Jake after this heroic dog! It was so sweet!
