I am still mourning the loss of my best friend and pal, Bodie. He was only 6. He was attacked mercilessly by a Boxer and a Pit Bull who had a history of killing in the past. Bodie had a deep and big puncture wound in his lung. The Boxer and Pit Bull were not supposed to be at the dog park due to their violent nature. Unfortunately, their presence at the dog park cost Bodie's life. Bodie lost his battle while at the hospital's table. He did not survived despite the vet's efforts to save him. So, I wanted to post his picture in honor of him.
He was a wonderful dog who touched the heart of many people with his daily antic. He was one of a kind will be very much missed.
If you wonder what breed he is, he is a large Papillon, which means butterflies in French.

Hi Daphna, My heart goes out to you. I remember when you first got him and brought him to my house so I could meet him. What a wonderful dog. There are not too many "hearing dogs" around and he was very special.
All my love,
Linda
Daphna, Bodie was truly an amazing and wonderful dog. It is such a horribly thing that should have not happened to him. We will miss seeing Bodie across the street from us and hearing his bark. Odin misses his playmate too. We are thinking of you during this sad time and wishing you peace and strength with each new day.

What a gorgeous "puppy!!!!!" Oh Daph, I'm so, so sorry. He looks like a gentle soul and my heart breaks for your loss. I am so sorry and you and Bodie are in my thoughts.
Much love, Amika (and Zeus & Hercules)

Dear Daphna,
I cannot imagine watching my best friend being attacked and murdered by another dog. Even worse that the other dog had a history of violence and yet it still happened to Bodie. That is a great photograph. It shows that he was a beautiful-looking dog, but you can also see his beautiful little soul shining out through his eyes.
Best wishes.
What a beautiful little soul. You can see his kindness and intelligence shine through his eyes.
I wish you peace and healing.
honesty my BearLov, i 'm not so in love w/small fluffy kind puppy. but Bodie opens my mind of friendliness & sincereness. After you shared the meaning of his breed, i do agree Bodie is a butterfly doggy.
so cute*
keep sharing dog & cat story, your expression will calm my craziness down.
Hugs^
Bodie is a beautiful little guy-such a sweet face. Please know that you will smile together with him again some day. Be strong - you were (and still are as you fight) a wonderful mother to him.
Bodie--what a beautiful boy!
I'm so sorry for your loss.

What a beautiful dog--so sorry for your loss, Daphna.
Daphna,
I am so, so sorry that you lost your precious Bodie in such a horrifying way. Clearly, he was a very very special pup. My kitties and I will light a candle for you and Bodie tonight.

Thank you everyone so much, for your kind words and support. Your prayers and for thinking about Bodie and I. It has been very touching to me. I am still in shock struggling very hard with my loss, and the way it happened hit me like ton of bricks. It's very hard to come to terms with.
I visit his grave everyday and put a flower on it. it hurt so much. All those feelings to deal with. Time will heal... although very slowly for a long time. It's so empty here without a dog to jump and wag a tail with joy when I come home. It's lonely and sad to come to an empty house. It's sad there is no dog to feed, walk and buy new toys for him. No dog sitting in his dog seat in the back riding with you everywhere. It's so devastating. It hurt so much. I really hope there is a Rainbow Bridge out there were our dogs run and play.
I can't bring Bodie back, but I can do my best to bring him Justice.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He was a beautiful dog. I know what it's like to lose a companion. He'll always be in your heart.
