I dont know, about a year ago I seen him walking down my street with another dog or two and I fell in love immediately. Before he came to me I always wanted a chocolate lab... he was much better imo. I it hurts so bad just to know that he gone and I could get another dog... I could search the world and inspect every dog on this planet and I could never find another Buddy ever. If I lived forever just searching for him, Id never find him, thats real loss. My friend I use to work with told me "At least he had love and didn't die on the streets abandoned". We dont know how he died all we know is that he ran away but would hang around the house barking on everyones porch and when you would try to get him he'd run from you, fast. I tried to get him one last time before I went to bed then Leesha seen him and tried to get him after she got off work at around 600am or later then at 745am when I went to take the kids to school, we seen him. On the porch. lying down. sleep, is what I thought at first, he couldnt possibly be... then I kicked him in the rear and it was clear. The kids all saw him. They took it pretty well. No one really loved him like I did. In a way its our fault we gave him food and love but we never really gave him exercise, he was so desperate for it he jumped our 5 ft fence to get out and get some several times. We dont know how it happened but a neighbor said she knows a kid who loves to beat animals with a baseball bat, that could be it, could have been a car there were no marks on him. Were gonna bury him today. He died yesterday. When I first seen him I knew he was a gift from God. God thank you for the time we had together and the love he gave us.
