As much as I loved Bandit I’ve got to credit his lasting legacy. He taught people who were afraid of big dogs in general and rotties in particular that they didn’t have to be scared. He loved everyone and accepted them even if they were reluctant of him because of his size. He won them over before he was through! For that many will remember him.
But he was still my favorite guy!
On the day the cancer he contracted finally had to be dealt with he let me know with but a look that it was time for us to say our goodbyes. At least for now.
I stayed with him through the end. I felt his spirit as it took flight to where the animals go while they wait for us to join them. Through the tears I still shed I see him in his glory and know he’s in a good place. He’s giving me that lop-sided grin of his with his head cocked to one side. Telling me that he’s waiting for me.
I love ya Dito! I think of you every day and you’re never away from my heart. Wait for us!
