A Tribute to Benson
Benson's Story...
We "adopted" Benson on 13th May 2000 aged 2.5 years after he
was rescued from a puppy farm in Edinburgh. He was very distressed,
had no confidence, and was needing a lot of love and reassurance. We
spent a lot of time with him and he eventually came to trust and
love us but was always wary of strangers. Because of his size and
dark black hairy coat, most folk feared him, but he was such a
gentle giant!! Family, friends and children loved him and he just
loved them back. On 23rd January 2010 he sadly left us as quietly as
he came to us . . . no fuss, no noise, no hassle . . . We will never
forget you Benson. Love you till the day I die , Your Dad & Mam

In
loving memory of Centaur
Dear Second Chances,
It is with sadness I
must let you know that Centaur passed away yesterday.
But it is with fond memories and the love and
protection he gave me and my family that will always be remembered
by me and my family.
It
feels like only yesterday I took the phone call from Julie that she
had a two and a half year old GSD for me and the family. From
day one my wife and I knew he was special.
He was so laid
back and sure of himself it was a joy to walk him. He would
walk past gardens with dogs in the gardens barking, growling, and
snapping at him yet he just looked at them and carried on walking as
if to say " you are behind a fence why should I worry". I
received many admiring comments about his looks and his behaviour
and several offers if I ever needed to give him up. Centaur
and I made many friends on our walks and would meet up with other
owners and their dogs and walk together.
When we went for
family walks, Centaur never let the boys out of his sight and would
walk with them if either of them lagged behind til they had caught
up to me or my wife. He was never distracted by other dogs as
"his" boys were his priority. I remember once my boys wanted
to climb a tree so I continued the walk but after 30 metres Centaur
had enough turning around and ran back to them, where he sat and
watched as they climbed the tree.
At the first Second Chances
German Shepherd Rescue Fun Day, Centaur won best behaved dog.
At the fun day with all those dogs about barking and pulling, not
once did Centaur bark or pull to get to any other dogs, because his
boys were safe and under his eye. He allowed me eldest Chris
(10 years old) to take part in the various games in the show ring
with him and happily lay down with Chris and Mark waiting his turn
while I sat away from them.
There's so many stories myself
and my family can retell of this amazing boy and our lives are
richer for him being part of the McDougall family.
We
will never forget you Centaur.
So thank you Julie and Second
Chances for bringing Centaur into our
lives.
Regards,
John
we are in desperate need of
any help to raise money. Veterinary costs, kennelling, food,
transport all need to be paid for and there is a constant stream of
needy German Shepherds. Just
