Happy Tail for Jakey!

Happy Tail for Jakey!

My name is Jakey and my story should actually be a movie.  My owner; Robert (Bobby) got me when I was about 6 weeks old (in December 2000).  Bobby was in a coma and was not expected to live and I was given to him after he “woke up”.  

 He taught me how to love and because I had the capacity to love unconditionally; we were a perfect match.  Bobby died on December 1 2011 and I was left homeless in Dickinson.  There were 4 sisters that made a vow to Bobby before he died, to find me a home after he passed away.  

 I was driven about 300 miles (one way) because no one in the town wanted an older dog.  I met Jaime at 4luvofdog and immediately we bonded (I peed on her foot).  She kept in contact with Bobby’s family and was instrumental in finding me a home and also helped me keep in contact with Bobby’s family.

 I came to be adopted by the most loving family a dog could ever have.  Melissa (my new mom) has adopted rescue dogs before.  I now have a  wonderful buddy named; Nemo and we could not be happier. I have a new brother and a father and best of all, I have a family.  I know that Bobby is looking down from heaven and knows what love can do to all.  To add to all of this happiness, Melissa (my new mom) and Bobby’s sisters communicate by email.  One sister is in Texas, one is in Maryland and one is back in Dickinson.  Love knows no boundaries and I am so happy that a family took a chance on taking an older dog; ME!!!
