JJ, a Belgian/Lab mix, was the ultimate adventure partner. He spent his life hiking, camping and going on road trips with my husband and I. He was incredibly sweet and loyal, and well loved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He loved food almost as much as his person, and loved to show off all of his tricks at parties. He raised multiple puppies and kittens and helped many shy dogs feel safe. He taught me the art of patience and patiently waited while I learned how to train dogs beyond even him. His heart was huge and full of love for every person and animal he met. His family extended beyond the doors of our home but the bond between him and I was unmatched. His passing has been incredibly difficult to cope with, and he will forever be dearly missed.
