Oh My Goodness....... Hachi was SUCH a cutie... WOW! I know you miss him something fierce, but how nice to have such stunning picture of him to remember him by..................

As i said before, my heart goes out to you.....the loss of such a beloved companion hurt beyond words.........................

It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

i know this will sound "way out there" with regards to Hachi tearing off the leg to match you...... but i have seen and heard of animals doing things that we may think they are not capable of .... or..... do not understand..... so maybe he did do this to mimic you.... or not.... i think we have only scratched the surface of understanding how dogs think................
