I rescued my Britany Spaniel mixed sweet Charley on Presidents’ Day of 2013. My wife had passed away in May of 2012, and I needed a companion to be there for me during some lonely grieving times. At first I was uncertain about getting my first dog as an adult though I had grown up with many dogs before going off to college. Charley was a very loving dog, a constant companion that rescued me from loneliness and despair. His nature was perfect for me because he was a little introverted and loved to walk. We walked countless miles together and the years flew by. He was gentle and sweet so he came with me most anywhere when I felt it safe at times to leave him in my vehicle for a short while. My Charley passed away just a few days after Presidents’ Day from liver cancer. 4 months prior he had severe glaucoma in his right eye and we had to surgically remove the afflicted eye. 4 years prior to that he pulled a tendon in his right leg and would no longer had been able to hike again were it not for artificial hip surgery. This year came the time we could no longer fix his ailment and we had to mercifully euthanize him. I am fragile and miss him with all my heart. He rescued me and we were inseparable.
