Aly, your "goodbye story" made me cry. I know how hard it is to let someone go that you truly love, but he was ready and someone else needed him. And do you realize what a wonderful impression you gave those people of the shelter that you work at? Here you were so attached to this beautiful dog that you cried at his departure into his next adventure. That, in my opinion, speaks highly of the shelter, the employees, and of you. If I had an experience like that I surely would reffer all of my friends and family members to that shelter!

I know Bailey will never forget you, and he will always hold those special memories that he had with you in his heart and I know you will do the same. And what a perfect tribute, to one day adopt a perfect boxer and name him Bailey.
