Our Jackie boy died this afternoon. We "rescued" him in 2003 when he was 5 years old. We had 7 great years with our gentle boy. We will miss him very much! I will write more later - I'm just too tired tonight.

Jack was such a special dog. Who knows what he went through those first 5 or 6 years of his life, but we know it was tough...then he got rescued by the best parents ever. (And I know cause they are mine!) Then he got to live the life he deserved...after all, being An Airedale he was "King of th Terriers"
When he was rescued, his teeth were worn to nubs and when he started having health problems 2 years ago, it was discovered he had buckshot in his leg.
What a happy boy was. Loved to play tennis ball, but he favortie thing was just to be petted. He loved to have his ears rubbed and would insist that you did.
Two years ago, his health started failing. X-rays showed his kidneys were full of masses. Maybe cancer, maybe not. He had a hard time with the anastesia, so we knew any long surgery was extra risky and it was decided we would rather have him with a good quality of life for whatver time was left. And boy did he show us, surprising the vets living over 2 more years! Sure, he wasn't always the most coordinatined...some days getting up and down was a challenge. He didn't always remeber which side of the doors he was on (in or out) before he pottied. But as long as he still got an ear rub and raw hide to chew on, he sure has heck wasn't going to give up the royal life he found!
We may have only had 7 years with Jack, but he showed us all why animals are the best. So innocent and loving, despite everything he went through early on. Sleep well, boy. You've earned it.

Oh no!!! Out of all the dogs at the dog park gatherings, Jack was my all time favorite. We had airedales when I was a kid, so Jack held a special place in my heart.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Your love filled his heart so he was able to fly right up to Rainbow Bridge. My RB dog Sydney was rescued at 15 months old and I always felt she knew how good she had it; she loved life as I know Jack loved his!~!!!!!!! Bless you for rescuing him and giving him his wings. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I send my deepest sympathy to your family. I'm sure Jack was happy to have a home where he was loved and well taken care of after suffering previous abuse. Take comfort in knowing that you made his latter years better than his former years.

I was so sorry to read this. Jack had the best life ever when he found you. I am thankful everyday that a dog finds a second chance, but Jack finding you makes me even more so.
I know how much you will miss him and send you huge hugs across the miles.

Have fun romping and playing like the good old days Jack-y boy. I remember, back in the day, you and Gabbie playing at the dog park, you two were good friends back then. I know you two will play again.

Diana & Carl, I'm so sad to hear this. Back when you posted about finding buckshot in his hind end, I cried, to think that such a sweet boy had been so mistreated. He was such a gentle soul. You gave him a wonderful life. I'm glad I knew Jack, he'll always hold a special place in my heart as a part or our Findlay family. GodSpeed Jack.
