"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

I'm not sure we were ever worthy of his devotion. Jake made sure he was part of every activity and every project. He supervised the children on land and in the water until his back injury in 2011 prevented it. He protected me against door to door salesman and the acreage against coyotes and foxes.We left him at home when we moved to Turkey. He was in good hands with our house sitter, my brother. He was lucky to have such a kind friend in his last year.
He will certainly be missed.
