Jake the vicious killer attack dog has just crossed the rainbow bridge.. [View all]

Well, okay, he was a ten pound chihuahua, but I think he would like to be known that way.

We think he was 17 years old; got him from his foster home six years ago when his age was estimated at eleven.

We didn't know how much time we would have with him; we're delighted to have had him as long as we did.

He chose Mrs. Permanut as his person, and started growling and nipping at me when he was in killer attack dog mode. I thought it was hilarious, but I'm not sure he knew that.

He retired a couple years ago from killer attack dog duties, and decided we could be buddies. I'm gonna miss him, you know how that goes.
