Baby Duke

TRAGICALLY, TAKEN TOO SOON (4th March 2014)

Sadly, little Duke slipped away to Rainbow Bridge on 4/3/2014.

It is such a tragic loss as he was a simply gorgeous Golden boy who was brilliant with other dogs and very friendly with people so he should have had a wonderful life to look forward to.

He had been rescued from a high-kill public Pound in Romania and, towards the end of March, he was due to make the journey to the UK where a loving forever home already awaited him.

Aileen appealed for prayers when poor baby Duke, suddenly, became very sick. The vet did everything possible for him but, despite all their efforts, the little guy didn’t make it.

Aileen broke the dreadful news by saying ” I am devastated to have to tell you all that Duke has gone to Rainbow Bridge.

Run free sweet little man. We would have all loved you.”

Run free little man as all angel dogs do
Rainbow Bridge Goldens are waiting for you
They’ll greet you and show you how all Treevers play
From waking right through till the end of the day

Rolls in the mud and then dips in the sea
Happy and healthy you’ll always run free
Sniffing and digging, all the fun things to do
Time down here on Earth wasn’t destined for you

Though sad life is taken before living starts
Your memory will live in so many kind hearts
We try not to weep though our baby boy died
For God needed an angel to lay at his side

Duke’s Story

Duke was approximately 16 weeks old when he was rescued from the high-kill public Pound in Romania.

He was a simply gorgeous Golden boy, good with other dogs and very friendly with people. He had been due to be arriving into the South of England on land-based transport towards the end of March 2013.
