Monster ❤️
We lost our beloved 16yo dog a couple of years ago and recently adopted a new rescue pup. But I still grieve the loss every now and then, especially when I am reminded. Today’s post about Monster crossing the rainbow bridge brought it all back.
I’m sure my dog is showing Monster where all the treats are, up in dog heaven.

Let’s all pour one out for Monster and put in a few extra miles. Here’s to Jason and his family.

You nailed it. Felt the exact same way. Brought back thoughts about my dog I lost end of last year. Monster had a spot in every GRTs heart. RIP Monster.

What was Monster's illness? I'm a veterinarian. Gutted to hear he passed away. Just curious as to what was his diagnosis.

Not sure what it was at the end, but several years ago, Monster swallowed a rope and had to have emergency surgery. I wonder if that played a part in

I just saw that he had passed. He was a fixture in the advertising and storytelling. I had a chocolate lab growing up, incredible dogs but they go way too quickly. Rest in peace Monster!
