Remembering Mr Diggie-Dog

[Winn]

My buddy Digger is romping across the Rainbow Bridge.
He was diagnosed with kidney failure a few months back but through medication and diet we still had good days together. This weekend he took a turn for the worst and I called the vet to offer him the final act of kindness.
He had another seizure and passed as soon as I laid him in the car to drive to the vet's office.

I watched his birth and I was there for his last breath. He leaves an empty space here, but we had such awesome time together.

He was such a handsome boy. I'm so sorry that you've lost him. I know what it's like to be there for the first and final breath and it's an extra layer of sadness.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard (and so rewarding) to take one from birth to rainbow bridge. Your dog is very handsome and looks a lot like my dog. If you don't mind my asking, what breed was he? My dog was rescued off the street so I really have no idea what her breeding is but she is a great dog.

His father showed up as an 8 week old pup running down a country road alone. He looked like an AmStaff but no one really knew. His mother was represented to be a Pit Bull, but was obviously mixed. He had 2 brothers and one sister and none of the litter was the same size or shape.
The vet didn't even have a guess as to what breeds might have contributed to the mix.

He was a very sweet and loving pup. I always told him he was "my bestest old black doggie ever"..

My dog rolled out into the middle of a back country road where they often do 50 plus MPH. She was 2 lbs when I scooped her up off the road. My vet doesn't have much of a clue either but we think some terrier of some kind and my vet thinks she has some border collie. I bet your guy was amazing. I attached a picture to show you how similar they look. You can't see it but she has the white on the chest like your guy and even similar markings on the feet. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Both dogs look like pit bull/Staffordshire dogs. It’s in the heads, eyes, ears, mouths & paws.
