Every dog is special to every dog owner, but Jacques really was special.
I called him the "Wal-Mart Greeter of dogs," because he truly loved everyone. He loved the gardeners and pool man, and couldn't wait for the exterminator to make his monthly visit so he could follow him around the house and coax him to play tug-of-war with one of his toys.
He was an absolutely gorgeous pure-bred Black Lab--a rescue dog who had never been abused and was in perfect physical condition when I found him...lost. He never had to carry the baggage of being abused, and loved and trusted everyone.
He was loving, playful and always good-natured. As one who has had dogs all his life, I never felt as much grief as when I lost Jacques. He was that precious.
Goodbye dear friend and companion. As always, it is we humans who are lucky to have dogs, not the other way around.
