Our Black Dog was an affectionate and sweet big brother to Hachi. He played with Hachi so gently and nicely in the early months of Hachi's life with us.
Our Black Dog was affectionate and reassuring to Hachi just like he'd been to Shyla when she was young. Despite how things evolved as Hachi matured, their friendship in those early months is a memory that we cherish.
Our Black Dog always had such a sweet disposition. He assumed the best in dogs and people. It made my heart swell as I watched him navigate the world projecting sweetness to everyone. He often went to a university campus with the Runner, and the students would flock to him wanting to pat him. That happened the most during exams so we often joked that R should be a therapy dog for students! As a mature dog, he had the perfect disposition for it.
Happy Black Dog Sunday!

Sweet memories of your kind Black dog.
ReplyDeleteR your most handsome Black Dog and his stories always make me smile. I am a firm believer animals take on the traits and personalities of their humans...of course Labs are loving but the love you gave double his standard Lab affection. I love the thought of R wandering around giving out therapy to stressed students.

Such sweet, sweet memories of dear R.
ReplyDeleteThis made me tear up. I miss him too. ♥
ReplyDeleteCute photos! R was definitely a special dog.
ReplyDeleteTake care, stay well.
Those are such sweet memories. We can see how R would have been a great therapy dog for those students.
ReplyDeleteHis disposition reminds me of our angel beagle Kobi. Kobi just loved absolutely everyone, and the feeling was mutual. He was just such a laid back guy. ♥
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are a sweet as R
ReplyDeleteR was a very special dog. It seems like he and Hachi did so well when Hachi was just a wee one. We often wonder why he changed so much in his attitude.
ReplyDeleteOMD, those are the sweetest pics! I can TOTALLY see R as a therapy doggie for the students...or anyone!
ReplyDeleteKisses,

Those extra sweet dogs make life so special. That first photo is adorably precious.
