This is my family's dog, Buddy. He was a 12th birthday gift for my little brother who is now nearly 24. Sweet Buddy is in his last days (literally) so I took a bunch of pictures of him today while we were at my parents house.
He limped and coughed around the backyard - chewing on sticks, balancing treats on his nose, tail constantly wagging. He's easily the gentlest, kindest dog I've known. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to this old guy.
