After losing his beloved dog, Wolfgang, in a tragic car accident, Steve decided to adopt a senior dog to fill the void. Little did he know, this decision would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
Steve is a retiree who lost his beloved dog, Wolfgang, in a tragic car accident. Feeling heartache over the loss, he decided that Wolfgang’s passing wouldn’t go to waste and that he would adopt the oldest senior dog at a shelter in his place. This dog was an elderly Chihuahua named Eeyore, who was so happy sitting on Steve’s lap while driving home. That moment is when Steve’s life changed forever.
He shared: “Honestly, once I came to the decision that adopting the oldest dog in the shelter was the best way to honor my dog’s death, there were no obstacles or challenges. I struggled with how to make sense of the tragedy of losing Wolfgang for a few months. Once I realized giving another dog a chance at life because Wolfgang had died unexpectedly would be the best way to honor him, there was no looking back.”Steve wanted something good to come out of Wolfgang’s passing.
Steve wrote: “Probably the most impact was the first senior dog I adopted after Wolfgang died. After I found the oldest dog in the shelter and adopted him we got in the car to drive home. As we were driving down the street he walked over from the passenger seat into my lap and put his front two legs on the armrest so he could stick his head out the window. I can still clearly see this moment 12 years later.
“I’ve learned not to get too overwhelmed with anxiety when the dogs pass away. It always hurts, and it always makes me sad, but I’ve learned to understand that they were on a journey, and I was lucky enough to be a part of that journey, no matter how long or short it was. It’s taken me a while to get to this point, but now I really can appreciate the time we had rather than be consumed with the pain of losing them.
