Two and a half years ago I stated walking this adorable Turkish rescue for his new owners, I had previously walked their last dog, big chocolate Ben, for roughly ten years, until he sadly passed away. I was nervous how this new boy would be, being from a foreign country, but he was brilliant, super confident, laid back and happy in my company and the company of my other dogs.
I was absolutely heartbroken to hear that over the weekend it was discovered that he had an acute health condition and he sadly crossed over rainbow bridge on Monday morning. I miss him so much, he loved his walks, his friends and he loved me and I loved him. I can't believe I'm never going to get to hear another sing song from him, as every time I picked him up he would howl at me, in an overexcited to see me way, whilst still laying flat out on the sofa, coz he was too lazy to get up, it was priceless. Gone but never forgotten, you've taken a peice of my heart with you, little Turkish Jonny Love โค๏ธ. Run free ๐.
He was one in a million, from the country I love so much, (we have an apartment out there & for the past 20 years so we taken many Turkish street dogs under our wing whilst spending time out there), he changed my perception of foreign rescue dogs coz he was bold, fearless, relaxed, playful, funny, loving and a force to be reckoned with, despite traveling thousands of miles from the hot country he knew to this cold, wet country where everyone spoke a different language and life was so very different. He was amazing and I'm so sad he only got a short time of finding the love he deserved from a loving family home but he did get the best owners he could have ever asked for, he was so loved, despite some of his grumpy little ways, my deepest sympathy goes out to his mum and the rest of the family. Some things never changed tho, he still always hated the cold and loved the hottest of days!!!
