Houndmom Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 (edited) In memory of Dublin and in support of our group's Asst Director and his wife (the Adoption Coordinator), I wanted to post this message. Dublin came to our group over a year ago with several behavioral issues. This couple took him in as a foster and over time grew to love him as one of their own (they have 7 greyhounds). Because he had some behavioral quirks he was often overlooked for adoption. As time passed it was evident that Dublin (Dubbie or Dub Dub) was probably never going to leave his foster home and the bond between dog and the AD was noticeably strong. This past weekend they gave notice that Dublin was going to officially become part of their family. We removed him from the available dogs on our website and placed him in the adopted section. On 3/27, Linda came home after work and walked into her house to greet the dogs as usual. When she approached Dublin he collapsed to the floor and died immediately. They are both devestated at this loss. Dublin was one of those special guys you just can't help but finding a place in your heart for. His sudden and mysterious passing is a great loss to them and those of us close to this family. He was only 3 1/2. Through the tears and heartache the work will continue. May Dublin run happy and free with all of our Bridge kids. I'll miss you to Dubbie.
