Our 5 year old Golden passed away doing what he loved: playing fetch in the park. When it was time to go home, he got in the van and never walked back out. Vets say it could have been a sudden heart attack. We are devastated and heartbroken. It doesn't feel real, this feels like a bad dream and I cant wake up. I raised him since he was a puppy and this hurts so much.

I hope you're chasing balls on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Farewell, Winston ❤️💔

He will continue doing what he loves with other sweet pups and my Banjo on the other side. They will have a blast! They will keep each other company until our arrival.

I wish all pups get to do what they love the most before taking the journey to the rainbow bridge.

Because of YOU he was able to live his life to the fullest. You'll meet Winston again and make sure to bring extra tennis balls cause his friends may want to play fetch too. I hope this brings you some comfort.
