In Memory of Monty

Monty was rescued many years ago, dirty and starving, so nobody knew how old he was.

He was not my dog but belonged to friends of mine so I saw him a lot and looked after him on occasion.

He started to slow down a few months back and recently a lump was discovered on his neck. It was decided to operate, but unfortunately the tumour was too large to remove.

Monty said good-bye to his human family and was then helped on his way.

He was about the same size as a Pekinese with similar facial features and the beautiful auburn red coat that they have. He had long ears and a magnificent plume of a tail. Monty was feisty, and had a "don't mess with me" attitude. As with many small dogs, he was brave as a lion.

Cheerio my little friend until we meet again.
