Hope grew up on Dobermantalk. From the first pics taken when he came home to the final set of frisbee frolicking shots taken last week, there was little I enjoyed more than sharing his life - both the ups and downs - with this forum.

While he had his challenges, due in no small part to our failures as owners, Hope was a loyal, loving, beautiful boy who was only 2.5 years old when he passed. My wife was at her desk, and when she got up, Hope did not follow in his usual velcro’d-to-her-hip manner. He remained motionless on the carpet, and when she checked, he was gone. He never made a sound.

I was already downtown at the end of a ride and met her at the vet. There was nothing to do but say goodbye to our boy, the love and light of our lives, the dog who saved us after losing Red to cancer in 2020.

Hope, we miss you with everything we have and are broken beyond repair. You were too young, and too full of vibrant life for this to make any sense and if love could have saved you this would never have happened.

Goodbye, Hope. We love you so much. This house is hollow and lost without you.
