We went looking for a dog on April 8, 1989 when our daughter was 18 mos old. All the humane societies thought our daughter was too young so we found a add in the paper while eating lunch and went to this pet shop in Chicago on Racine ave. We walked in and there were many puppies in all these bins. My husband and daughter went one way, I went another. I came back and my daughter was holding this little black and tan pup. I wanted a girl and he was a he. MY husband and daughter tells me that she didn’t want to come to us so we took the boy out and he ran up to our daughter and kissed her. How could I argue with that. We took him home and named him Butch.
He was a great dog. We had him for 15 years. We lost him on November 20, 2004. It wasn’t long enough. Our home will never be the same without you Butchie. We love you.
We love you our baby,
