Teddy was a king. He was the most beautiful and gentle animal I have ever known. There are no words I can write to describe how much I loved him, and how much love he spread in the world. He was truly a mountain dog, and I know in his final moments he was charging up the hill looking for the elk herd. Like always when he found them, he looked at them with wonder for a few moments before throwing his giant head back, and barking like he was king of the hill. The stampede would ensue, and before long, Teddy would be back from the chase.
He was clearly a treasure. So sorry he is gone. They die too soon. They absorb all the love we have to give and gladly return it a hundred fold. You were lucky to have had him.😊
I feel your pain. having lost pets. Animals are the most forgiving beauties on Earth. I am sorry.
Rainbow Bridge excerpt.....
"When you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands again caress the beloved head. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart." Author Unknown
Loving a dog is brave because opening the heart that wide, knowing you will outlive your best boy demands a giant heart. Loss is the price for love, and it is cruel in its pain. God bless dogs, they pay back the love every day. Teddy made you better. He lives on,
My sympathies Steve, Teddy will truly be missed. My last dog was named Sevyn, he was a pit/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He was awesome. I too had to put him down at seven years. He died way too young. Now I have Chloe; a boxer/Ridgdeback mix. She’s six and doing great.
I personally love animals of all kinds; people, not so much. Honor Teddy by finding a new dog to raise, love and nourish…:)
We also had a Teddy but he was only 14 pounds of love and bravado. He comforted me through the loss of my son, nursed my husband through his cancer treatments & impacted everyone around him. Thank you for sharing your Teddy with your readers.
I retired in 2015, and my little shadow, Daisy was my constant companion, from the moment I woke up till I went to bed with her at my bed side in her own bed that she loved. This November it will be two years since I lost my best friend. She lived to 16. I never realized how much of a void a twelve pound dog could leave in your heart. I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious pup! Take care of yourself!
This beautiful tribute to Teddy brought tears to my eyes. It is consoling to know that I am not alone in my own grief – – my beloved, rescued pit-bull mix, Pixie, was recently diagnosed with terminal lymphoma. Steve, I listen to every single stirring talk you record and read every brilliant sentence you write and I thank and salute you for the heroic work you are doing during this frightening season in American political life. You are one of the greatest orators of our age.
The holes they leave behind are never filled, but it is dwarfed by the mountain of joy that we have accumulated and dispersed through our association with them. Pets bring out the best in us. Peace and Godspeed to you and yours.

Your words about the loss of democracy tear at my soul.
Your words about the loss of your pet tear at my heart.
Peace be with you, friend.
Peace to you and yours, and to your most beautiful Teddy.
Such a beautiful tribute to Teddy. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Oh what a beautiful dog. Losing a dog is losing family. I'm so sorry.
The love is there in every photo.
Now, perhaps with Sophie on his back, he is chasing cloud elk up cloud mountains, his bark the summer thunder we will all hear.
