Joey was my best friend growing up.
My dad rescued him - he was on his last day at the Humane Society. We never knew what kind of dog he was, but you could not find a more loyal friend. He slept with me when I was sick, sat and comforted me when I cried, and was so full of life. He loved our weekends at the trailer and was very protective of our family.
He was with our family for 13 long and happy years before he had to be euthanized due to a series of illnesses. I know he's watching over us everyday, and we miss him very much.
