A tribute to Chad the Rottweiler

A tribute to my first rottweiler, sadly stolen from me by a fire while I was on holiday in August 2007. He died peacefully of smoke inhalation in his sleep. When I saw his body he was still curled up asleep.

I lived and worked with Chad for just under four year. I got him as a two year old from a rescue home and he could barely sit to command and didn't know what a toy was. By the end of his life he had a huge box full of toys he would go to and rummage though searching for the one toy he wanted to play with at that time.

Living and working that closely with a dog for so long builds an unbreakable bond between you, to have that ripped away shattered my soul. So here it is, the tribute to the greatest dog in the world.

Chad, this one's for you boy... I know you'll always be with me.

Give that puppy an extra hug from me! Rotties are especially cute puppies. Chad was a dog in a million, I hope your pup turns out to have his gentle nature.

2:14 is cute. I just lost my lab of 13 years, too. It was the saddest day of my life. It's going to be fine, don't worry. : )

Your story is very sad but similiar to my dog Darcy who was put to sleep in February from Cancer. He was also a rescue dog and neglected from love. When he left and I packed up all his stuff, I had a full box of toys everywhere in the house. The sadness never disappears - i am 34 year old man and cry everytime when I think about my mate. May the hearfelt loss of all rottie owners unite us all.
