Tribute to a very special German Shepherd dog named "Puppy"

PLEASE READ ***** A tribute to a very special "lil soldier". I had to put her to sleep after spending over six years together. She was owned by my employer so she had a multitude of different "keepers" until I took over the role on 18 November 2002. We have been together every day since then. She "adopted" me right from the very first day and she was the sweetest and most loving dog imaginable. She loved all people, especially children and would let them pull her ears and her tail even whilst trying to hich a ride on her back.
One day when the vet came to check our horses she paid a visit to check "puppy" and found her joint problems. She must have been in pain before that but NEVER showed it. We immediately put on pain killers which she took for the rest of her life. Her favourite pastime would be to lie down with her paws in the air and insist on a "big cuddle" every morning. She was the proverbial "softie". I miss her terribly and thought i would put these first thoughts and pics together. I hope it works.
The music worked very well until some muppets pulled the whole video for copyright issues. Fair cop but in the grand scheme of things they could have let it pass.

"Liane Rimes - I Need You" had worked brilliantly but see above.

I hope the Dax Johnson track works. Let me have some feedback.

So very true 408KNW - The GSDs are truly the Top Dogs in every way. Could not have have put it any better. Your words sum up the breed and especially my "Puppy" perfectly. Although I should add their inspiring personalities and incredible gentleness with the awesome power they possess.

The pain never goes away and its been over two years and it still gets me inside when she is no longer trying to sit on me demanding a big hug and a game of football which she loved, everyday.

honestly i thoughti was the only person with a gsd called puppy lol  .

[TheDriverr]

If you were interested: the name "Puppy" came about quite by chance. Because she hadn't been very well trained she did not answer to her original name so when I took her to the vet for the first time she was given her own treatment book - on the front of that book said "Name of Puppy" and cos she looked so young and cute the name just stuck so that's why I named her "Puppy" as she liked it, as did I. So now you know why?????? I hope your "puppy" lives a long and active life,

Oh My God i cant live without my dog the day he dies they have to bury me with him. Sorry but Kaiser is my heart!

[TheDriverr]

Hey there TDG. Maybe you should think about posting your own tribute to Kaiser if, god forbid, anything was to happen. I find making a tribute helps withthe pain as does the comments lefft by other Utube viewers.

All dogs go to Heaven.

[TheDriverr]

Yes you very well be right, my friend.. I replied,on Utube, to a young girl who lost her dog, who she loved very much. She couldn't understand why. I replied that the angels needed a very special puppy in heaven like mine and yours, so they searched the whole world and chose our dogs. If she was to look up in the night sky and see the two brightest stars shining together those were our puppies helping to look after all the dogs in heaven, looking down and keeping watch over us, for eternity.

@TheDriverr That is very well said.

We just lost our girl last Sunday, she was the second of the couple we had to let go. They were not GSD but mallinois, very closely related to the GSD.

We lost our old man 3 years ago when he was almost 17 and our girl was 17,5 when we had to let her go. 20 years together, Still can not believe they are both gone now.

Was not the best timing for me to run into your tribute of Puppy, but when is??

Thanks for you this lovely tribute!

We had to have our angel, Taz, put to sleep yesterday. He was 10...a german shepard/angel mix. My soul is deeply wounded. Thank you for this video.

As the owner of sisters Amy & Abbey, our pair of police dog drop outs I have learnt just how great these dogs can be. Sorry for your loss sounds like you were lucky to have had some great times with a great friend. Happy memories

Tears are streaming down my face. Part of my heart and soul lie buried with our shepherds Manfred and SuSu in a special plot in a shady corner of our small acreage. Lord -- what grand and noble creatures! Powerful angels with four legs -- sent to watch over us during their lives. I love and try to protect all animals -- but I must say: After you've been privileged to live with German Shepherds, all other dogs are "just dogs."

made me cry thinking of my dog osta and bodo and bear very sad song

love to all the GSD'S who have left us
