We will miss you D!

Dante was here when I brought Liam home from the hospital.  He was great with him although I always was very careful.  D, as Liam calls him had a past.   D looked at my mom as if she had brought this thing home to stay.     In a dog's mind that's what a baby is just some strange thing.     He barked and looked confused, but he never acted as if he would hurt the baby.   I have pictures of them laying on the floor together when Liam was very tiny.  Liam would call D whoa whoa D, because Dante would bark/talk just like a husky.
Dante loved to run!!   He would run on the ridge right beside my car and jump in when he felt I would leave him behind.   I walked him every time I could more times than I can count.   He was a Houdini dog.  He could break out of any bearer.    He was so loyal to ones he loved.   I know each person that he loved very well I believe my son was one of those people.
Dante was known to have a screw loose.   He was not an easy dog to own to say the least, but I tried my damnedest to give him a great life.  I tried to give him a normal doggy life.  I wanted him to have the chance he deserved.
He has so many stories....  Jumped off of a 40 foot bridge into the water with not a stratch on him. Jumped off a balcony and hung himself when worker startled him. It was a long drop but it did not phase my D.    He wondered the ridge and always returned except one time.    I thought he was gone.   A mont h had gone by and no sign of him.  I was outside calling my mom's dog and heard his whoa whoa bark. His back leg was hanging of him and his other back leg was injured badly.   After a long recovery Dante was back to his old self again. 

 I had to say goodbye to my dear friend.   A friend that had been through more with me than any other creature on this planet.     He was my long time companion, and I know he loved me a lot!
Dant run all you want free of pain.  There are no fences in heaven buddy.   We miss you, and I will always love you.  Thanks for being here for me!!!
