''Good morning,
I saw your post on fb for the calendar photos, I would like to enter my beautiful boy and tell you a little bit about him.
This is Meshoo he’s 1 years old ( 2 in March 2027).
So I tragically lost my 16 year old son on 28th on May this year, I have never had a dog before…. While out a walk along the River a few days after Charlie’s passing , I met an older gentleman ( I was clearly upset he could see) he stopped me and rubbed my shoulder and his words were “ I won’t ask it’s non of my business…. But please get yourself a dog if you don’t have one , a dog will be your best friend”
We went our separate ways on the walk and I never thought much of it , once at the end of the river path, I sat on a bench at the church and opened FB, the 1st thing I saw was Meshoo looking for his forever home.
I messaged the woman straight away and went to meet them the day after and all I can say is the older man from my walk as right now, Meshoo has helped me on the hardest days , he gives me a reason to get out every day , I would be lost without him.
Thanks for reading
Much love Shelley''.
Thank you to Shelley for allowing us to share her story.
A prime example of how dogs can turn our lives around during times of grief and loss.
