SO, OFF I WENT TO A NEW HOME. THE NEW HOME WAS AWESOME! LOTS OF PLAY TIME, A SWIMMING POOL, CAR RIDES, FOOD GALORE AND I WAS NOT STUFFED INTO A CRATE ANYMORE. LIFE WAS GRAND! I ALSO GAINED TWO BEAUTIFUL SISTERS WHO DID NOT EAT ALL OF THEIR FOOD MOST OF THE TIME. THUS, AS THE BIG BROTHER, I STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO HELP THEM OUT, AS TO NOT WASTE ANY OF THEIR FOOD! WHAT A GENEROUS BROTHER I HAD BECOME HELPING THE GIRLS OUT IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED.

THE NEW FAMILY LOVED ME UP EVERY CHANCE THEY GOT AND I WAS CERTAINLY OKAY WITH THAT! ALTHOUGH I PRETENDED TO BE ULTRA-ALOOF, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I WAS HOPING THAT THEY WOULDN'T CATCH ON, BUT I NOW SUSPECTED THAT THEY KNEW ALL ALONG. HUMANS ARE SMARTER THAN I THOUGHT, BUT STILL, THE ROTTWEILER RULES!

OVER THE YEARS, I LOST MY SISTERS TO ILLNESS. MY HEART WAS BROKEN. I TURNED TO MY YOUNG SON, "MAGNUM", A BOUNCING BABY BOY. HE HELPED ME TO CAST MY SORROWS ASIDE WITH HIS WILD AND CRAZY PUPPY ANTICS. I WAS SO PROUD OF MY BOY AND LOVED HIM DEARLY. PEOPLE SAID THAT TWO INTACT MALE ROTTWEILERS COULD NOT LIVE IN HARMONY TOGETHER, BUT MY SON AND I HAD A VERY SPECIAL BOND AND PROVED ALL OF THE PUNDITS WRONG. WE WERE PALS FOR LIFE. THE VERY BEST OF FRIENDS WITH AN UNBREAKABLE BOND! YET AGAIN, I WAS EDUCATING HUMANS.

THEN, ONE DAY, I TOO BECAME ILL. IT WAS TIME TO BE REUNITED WITH MY ADORING SISTERS WAITING FOR ME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE. ONCE AGAIN OUR PACK WAS TOGETHER! WE WILL NOW ALL WAIT FOR YOU TO REJOIN THE PACK, MAKING US COMPLETE ONCE AGAIN. TOGETHER WE WILL CROSS THE BRIDGE AS THE LOVING FAMILY WE SHARED AND CHERISHED. SO, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, TAKE CARE OF PACK. WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE. YOU CAN COUNT ON US LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE. AS YOU HAVE ALREADY LEARNED ROTTWEILERS ARE DEDICATED, EVER-VIGILANT AND SENTINELS OF LOVE!

YOUR LOVING SON,

HANK
