with thanks to Max

Max was a dog belonging to one of our founding members. Unfortunately he had to be put to sleep but through his death we have all learned much about dogs, the work rescues do and how great the need is to educate and help owners who have dogs with issues. Also to find the right homes for those who cannot stay with their owners for whatever reason. So with thanks to Julia Johnson who wrote this for her dog and Max of course:

There's an empty space within my heart,
now that death has torn us apart

Tho' I'll always cherish the time we had,
the day will come I won't feel so sad

So, in your honor, my dear old friend,
to help my heart begin to mend

I will rescue another in need,
not to replace - but plant a new seed

Please guide my heart to one here needing my love,
as you wait for me high up above.

Max will always have a special place in my heart. He was a well loved misunderstood fellow who would do anything with a sausage!
