Yoda 1995 - 2005

Posted by Peter at Thursday, November 17, 2005
Our dog Yoda died yesterday after going to the vet because of injuries. I just wanted to let everyone know and hope that everyone will pray for our dog. He was a good dog. We saved him from an animal shelter in Georgia after hearing that he was used in a puppy mill to produce puppies. The owner was caught with 50 dogs in her house, all in cages and all were used to make puppies. We were told of this and drove to Georgia to help any dog we could. When we got there, Yoda was the only one left. He was very old at about 10 years of age, but we adopted him anyway. In his 10 years at the puppy mill, he never ever saw grass and was never let out of his cage. He had many ailments, but was in decent shape. For the last 4 months we gave him the best life he could have. From playing in the parks in Springfield to taking walks down the street, he loved his last days. I know he was very thankful to us for giving him such a great life and I know that the last 4 months made up for the 10 years that he was couped up in a cage. Yoda is now in a better place and we will always miss him, but I know he is always with us.

We will always love you Yoda.

You were Yoda's guardian angels! You gave him a lifetime's worth of love and happiness in such a short time. You can keep the memory of Yoda alive by giving a place in your home to another dog who's in desperate need of rescue, just as Yoda was. Let Yoda's place in your hearts and home be the beginning of a new life for another pet. Every time you look at your new pet, you will be reminded of Yoda. I'm sure he'd want another dog spared the life he had and you sound like the perfect person to do it.

I'm so sorry to read about Yoda. As a dog lover myself, I know how hard it is to lose one of our furry friends. You were a saint to bring Yoda into your home and give him a good, happy, safe home.
