It is with great sadness that I tell you Odie has indeed lost his battle for life.

A very kind and compassionate person (who knows the facts and whom I trust completely ) provided me (privately) with the details surrounding his death....

This poor soul who was bounced and "shuffled" from shelter to shelter could not make a successful transition from distrust to trust. There had been too many months in the system, too many cells to survive in, too many uncertainties...

His aggression escalated to the point where he had bitten two people and despite the intervention from the adoptive family and a trainer, his anti-social behaviour grew worse.

The adoptive family made the final decision...and Odie has now crossed-over to join Keisha, Chubby, Reggie, Jazz, Austin, and thousands more who have left this world for many inhumane reasons; dumping, abuse, neglect, ignorance, and a throw away attitude.

I cannot express to you how grateful I am to the person who had the courage to confide in me and share the truth.

With the new SPCA policy inplace against, "shuffling", I pray that no other animal will suffer as Odie and so many other's have.

Thank you, each and everyone of you, who stood by me during the past 5 months and I have made a promise to Odie that his death will never be forgotten, nor his struggle to survive..for he was a miracle and I know in my heart that he now plays with my Dad who cares for all the animals who NOW have a voice.....

TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO FORGIVE....CANINE
