He was very unique and full of character. A purebred true-white Siberian Husky, he was and is the smartest dog that I have ever been around. He looked more like a wolf than he did your typical Husky, but was as gentle and kind as any animal I have ever seen. For those that have never been around Huskies they like to talk and sometimes I felt that he actually understood what it was that I was saying to him. I would step outside and ask him, "Do you want a goodboy treat?" and he would respond with a resounding, "WOO-WOO!" I find myself looking out the backdoor searching for him still and I've got to say that it pains my heart knowing that he will never be there again. My two year old red & white Husky is even feeling his loss.
I know that some of you are probably saying, what a freak, but you would have to understand that Legend has been with my wife and I most of our marriage and was basically our first child. Watching him suffer as he did and hearing his moans as his body was literally wracked with pain was almost too much for me to bear. I could do nothing but try to comfort him until the end.
Well, thanks to those that actually read this entire post. I know that most of you have a very short leash when it comes to patience.
Legend (AKC Name: Siberia's White Legend) October 26th, 1993 - September 16th, 2006.
