Hawaï

Hawaï English Bulldog
Hawaï – April 14, 2012 • February 12, 2026
English Bulldog, daughter of Boun and César Born, raised, and loved in Alfortville, France
Hawaï was born fragile, with her two little eyes marked by cherry eye,
which made her bump into walls before she bravely learned
to know her home by heart.
She was the last of her litter, the one no one would have chosen…
except Céline, who saw in her a special gentleness,
a little soul who only needed a bit more love.
She grew up surrounded by her family: her mother Boun,
Céline, Sébastien, and the three children.
Then life separated their paths, but never their bonds.
Hawaï stayed with Sébastien, along with her mother,
until her mother passed away in 2025.
She then continued her journey with him alone—faithful, tender, aging,
but always present.
On February 12, 2026, at the age of 13, just two months before her 14th birthday,
Hawaï passed away in front of the emergency entrance
of the Maisons-Alfort Veterinary School (France).
Tired, weakened, fasting, awakened too early for a difficult surgery,
she lay down on the ground, breathing with difficulty.
Sébastien carried her, stayed with her, hydrated her, stroked her.
She still reacted… and then no more.
A cardiac collapse.
The veterinarians did everything they could,
but her little heart decided to stop.
She left in the hands of those who loved her.
She left after a whole life spent in Alfortville (France),
in the same town, in the same home,
in the same love.
She will be cremated individually, and her ashes may one day
rejoin Sébastien, or be scattered at the Asnières pet cemetery.
Hawaï existed.
She was loved.
She mattered.
And she always will.
Rest in peace, my little Hawaii. You will always be in my heart.
