He brought me pain & sadness.

I had to let my best dog, Dixie, go on Christmas Eve. My chocolate lab. She was really sick. Had a life-threatening condition. I'm still beside myself over it all. Dixie saved my life when I got her in Feb 2017.

She's probably the only reason I didn't lose my mind after my daughter was killed in 2014. By 2017, I was in a really dark place. Dixie alone pulled me out of that darkness. She meant everything to me.
