Jake came into rescue as a stray in October 2003. Poor little guy had
mange, a deformed jaw and a severe under bite. He was
only four years old but nobody wanted him because he was not pretty enough
and had some hair loss. We thought he was beautiful and were soon to
find out how truly beautiful he was. Jake was the sweetest boy you would
ever
want to meet. Everyone that came in contact with him fell in love with
his sweet face and gentle spirit. Jake went to his forever home in November
to live with his new mommy Lisa and her son Ilya. Jake soon became Ilya’s
best friend and followed him everywhere. No dog was more loved than Jake
and he was a very happy boy. We received pictures almost every week of
him and Forrest who was adopted with him.
On Saturday evening, January
24, Jake was sleeping peacefully next to his Mom like he frequently did,
but his mom noticed that he looked funny and she couldn’t wake him up.
Our precious Jake died 20 minutes later in her arms. It appears he suffered
an aneurysm and nothing could have been done to save him. Although his
time with us was cut short, I believe he lived a lifetime in the few
weeks that he spent with his new family.
Jake: You came into our lives for a brief moment,
but you will remain in our hearts forever.
Love,
Gail,
Lisa, Ilya, Joy and Lisa.
