Joyful Jiraiya!

Wow- thank you for the below comment- it brought tears to my eyes. Hari's passing was a terrible tragedy but he did die a True Hero and his bravery and selflessness that night is something all of his friends and acquaintances will never forget. I made the decision to get Jiraiya as I drove home from the memorial service in Sacramento. The puppies had been born right around the time of the accident- it was meant to be! I wish they had posted the golden orb pic. You can make orbs appear in photos from dust or moisture- but not the big golden kind that show up in Jiraiyas photos. My boyfriend spent an hour in Photoshop trying to prove the golden orbs weren't real- and then he gave up and BELIEVED! Jiraiya has a Guardian Angel named Harison Long-Randall for sure!

Hi Jiraiya! Happy Dog of the Day!

What a gorgeous Golden guy you are, Jiraiya, beautiful inside and out! You have the face of an angel, sweetheart and the heart of one as well.

There are no words to express my sadness at the tragic passing of your namesake, young Hari. He gave his life to save the life of another, and that makes him a hero, no doubt. But while he may no longer be here with his family and friends in body, his kindness, his gentle and loving spirit, live on in you. And having been the dog lover that Hari was, what a beautiful way for you to honor his memory, dedicating a part of your life to therapy work; bringing comfort and smiles, some unconditional furry love, to those in need. And with Hari watching over you from above, his golden light helping to guide you, I have no doubt you're going to excel in your selfless mission! How proud he must be!

You are truly one extra special boy, Jiraiya, "golden" to the core, and all lucky enough to share even a small part of their life with you, truly blessed!

Great thanks to your family for sharing your very special story and your heart melting photos with us, Jiraiya! Meeting you has truly brightened my rainy day! Enjoy your much deserved day of honor; retrieving your beloved sticks and Frisbees (sister Trixie can have those tennis balls), stashing away those coveted bones, being loved and pampered to pieces! Much love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Jiraiya, our extra special and most deserving Dog of the Day! Love to beautiful Trixie, too!
