“Thirteen years and not one of them quiet. He met us at the door every single day like we'd been gone a lifetime, tail going like mad. The house is far too tidy without him.”

Emma & Tom · His family

“We walked the lake path this morning and left your ball down by the water. It didn't feel right throwing it in without you tearing after it. We miss you every day, boy.”

Mum & Dad · Thinking of you

“Barney said good morning to me over the fence for ten years. I've caught myself keeping biscuits in my coat pocket out of habit. Missed by the whole street.”

Margaret · Next door

“You were the best cuddler and you always let me use you as a pillow. I still say goodnight to your photo. Love you always, Barney.”

Ellie · Age 9

“Muddy paws, stolen socks, and a soggy tennis ball he would never, ever give back. Barney turned every ordinary walk into an adventure. What a good, good boy.”

Dan · His dog walker

“First Christmas without you and we hung your stocking up anyway — someone had to keep an eye on the turkey. Sleep well, our beautiful boy.”
