I am writing to tell you that we lost John last night.
He apparently was near or on our country road and someone hit him.
That is the best that we can tell. He did not have any wounds showing
on him. We were home and he had just been on the porch. He was not
in the habit of going near the road, so I don't know why he was out
there. He died instantly. We never heard a thing. He was at the end
of our driveway. Whoever hit him did not even stop. ... We have never
lost another animal to an accident like that. We will really miss him.
He loved to be with us and he loved being here.

We just love him. He loves to be hugged and petted. He can hear a refrigerator
open from anywhere in the house and have his head stuck inside to see what
looks good before you can manage to reach inside. He loves the horses and thinks
they are playmates. This was a problem for awhile but things have calmed down
in that area. He loves to sleep in our bedroom with us. If we try to make him
go in the sunroom to sleep (a perfectly good place to sleep), he hides from
us. He is pretty good at it for a big dog. One time he crawled under the long
bench in our bedroom, but his butt and tail were still sticking out. As far
as he was concerned he was out of site.

John weighs about 90-95 now and wants to eat constantly. He is
a very happy puppy!
Would you like to be a sponsor?
Big
John was a 3 year old, black and tan, male, neutered German Shepherd
and is a success of the Match a Pet program.
He was rescued at Terra Haute and provided exceptional care and love
by their staff. They contacted us for his rescue, and we knew of
a family that was looking for a dog just like Big John.
