i had gotten a shih tzu named gizmo when he was 6 weeks olds in 1990 he weigh 3 lbs 2 ozs a little guy he was the love of my life besides my 2 sons and husband.he was such a joy.he died in my arms on feb 4th 2005 he was 15 yrs old and he suffered a stroke he couldnot eat or drink he fought to live but i prayed to God to please take him because i could not do it myself to take him to the vet.i carried that dog every where i went and and God answered my prayer

Gizmo died in my arms he took his last breath in my arms 3 days after he had the stroke.my heart broke i cried and nothing matter to me.he was my baby i would come home from work and cook him hotdogs and eggs at 2 am.and he loved to take walks he would wait for me.hes buried in my backyard under his dogs house.i have angels surrounding it with a cross. i have gotten another dog the same kind a shih tzu and his name is also gizmo and he helpled heal my broken heart.

So yes dogs love us no matter what.i know one day i will be with him again when i cross over that rainbow bridge where he waits for me he will meet me there.God love you Mark for letting us express our pain in our hearts.thank you
