The incredible 'Vick dog' era is over.

On Saturday, we had the great honor and privilege of attending the transition of the sweet, shy Frodo as his family helped him pass over to be with the rest of the dogs from the group.

He was the last of 48 brave survivors from that game changing case. Seized and rescued in 2007, we estimate that he would've been 15 years old - and THIS is the important part - the last 14 years of his life were spent being pampered like a prince with the Ramirez family and dogs. Sweet Frodo - How we loved him. He was one of the bravest survivors we've ever met.

We didn't realize at the time that Jonny Justice had just passed away in a private moment with his people, Cris & Jen, just two days earlier. Oh Jonny! We thought you might live forever.

And finally - in the first week of October, Letti de Little's sweet man Uba passed over. We've been grappling to find the words, and now Uba's friends have pushed that door wide open.

Warm sympathies and gratitude to the families. We'll come back with more on each special dog and the lives they lived, but for now, it's time to have a little cry and say good-bye to them all.

(Photo: Frodo gobbled that big bag of steak under the tears of his mama, Kim Ramirez and her daughter Dominique. Thank you Dr. Williams for tending to his medical needs up until the end. He trusted you and you made this moment so perfect.)

Ending our week with a happy.... 💜

Do you know who this little face is? It's FRODO! -- one of the last surviving dogs from the M.Vick case. He, Jonny Justice and Uba are all showing their age -- 14+ years old -- but the boys are still doing well and living large with their families.

In our thoughts are all those who have suffered and died, the persecuted, prosecuted, our canine companions, the unknown names, the puppies, the old and sick, the fit and healthy killed.
First posted by DDA Watch on the 12th August 2012 - eight years ago today, then marking the 21st Anniversary and today marking 29 long years of insane breed specific legislation.
"The vet's needle slides in to end Rizla's life" proudly reported. Remembering all those innocent ones who died alone and afraid.
