My heart is 💔 for Harlso’s family! I had been watching them do things for him in his final weeks and it was beautiful to watch. My heart hurts for them. Dogs do not truly live long enough and I am deeply and most sincerely brought to tears when I saw this post. What did it teach me to watch them hold on to every last moment- that we have to live each minute of our lives with purpose and be present in it. Be present.❣️
Yesterday at 11.25am, at home, cuddled in his momma’s arms and surrounded by love, Harlso’s loyal soul left this earth to guide us from the stars. His health had deteriorated quickly, and he let us know that it was time. Our hearts are broken and life will never be the same.
Recognised by Guinness World Records as one of the world’s most amazing animals to his charity work, Webby Award and Social Media Personality of the Year title, Harlso’s accomplishments are nothing short of legendary.
Harlso’s balancing tricks amazed and brought smiles to millions, but his legacy is so much more—he showed us all the power of patience, trust, kindness and determination. He loved belly rubs, kisses, squeaky toys, cheese (god he LOVED cheese), sneezing in your face when he woke up, cuddles on the sofa, big stretches, tickles under his leg, getting spoiled by his granny and when ANYONE said the word dinner! He was our pride and joy, our purpose and our best friend. We also feel blessed to have shared him with the world. Nothing ever fazed him from appearing on TV shows, meet and greets, travelling, even appearing on stage. He was a born entertainer, a generational talent, a one in a million dog. It has been the honour and privilege of our lives to be his people. Fly high Harley but please do come visit us regularly in our dreams. There will always be room for you on the big bed between us. Mum and Dad loved you so so much. You were the greatest! 🌟🐾 ~ Paul and Jen ❤️
