How sad Paul. Caught me off guard. I hope you find the ... that left them dying along the road.
I understand your families grief.

Two beautiful pets Paul and a sad introduction to them. I hope you find whoever did this to them. A nice tribute to them.

I am so-o-o-o sorry for you and your family's loss. And a lesson for all of us who so love our animals...take photos of them, just like you would your children. Thank you for reminding me to take more time to photograph the 'others' that I love.

Oh how sad. I am so sorry. I can't imagine how awful that must have been.

Two beauties, black and white... but really sad. The pets become part of the family and we are very sad when we loose them. Really sad story, but nice photos, Paul. My sympathy.

Paul - How sad for your family - my condolences. Pets are a part of the family and thier loss is difficult. Thad

I am just glad you were there to give Eddy comfort in those last few moments Paul. It is sad when a pet friend passes. Eddy and Rusty both look like such sweet dogs, sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It is very hard to lose a loved one. Hope that you catch the guy. In my opinion, people who do this or abuse animals should get the same treatment in return.

I am so sorry to hear your news Paul. I hope the driver gets his!!! My thoughts are with you all x

That is terrible, Paul. I am so sorry to hear this about your dogs. I feel so bad for the kids. I will never forget when my dog died when I was only about 8. I hope you catch the *** **** that did it, and didn't even stop.

Aw im so sorry...that is absoulutely tragic!! I have lost pets too and its so so hard, they are part of the family! Hope u catch the horrible person who did it! Take care my friend...Lovely photos by the way, they are so very cute!!

What a shame. It is so sad to have lost a pet and then when it's two, I just hope you find the person responsible.

My heartfelt sympathies to you Paul. They were beautiful dogs. Their pictures show their personalities. So sad to lose them that way:(

Oh my goodness, Paul, I'm sitting here crying for the lost of your dear sweet Eddy & Rusty. I can't image the loss of both in the same day and by the same mean driver. I hope that driver has bad dreams from now on.

I know our pets are a dear part of our families and is very hard indeed when they move on, it's very heart breaking indeed.

So Sorry for the loss of both of your dogs, they are a dear part of your family,

Paul, I'm so very sorry to hear of your family's loss. I feel for your kids, truly. The thought of losing two pets under such circumstances, and in the same day is unbearable. Your dogs were adorable. Thank you for sharing, and my sympathies to you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news, Paul. My condolences to your family.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs, they really do become like family. I know the pain. I hope your kids are doing ok.

I'm sooo sorry to hear this Paul.......such a tragedy to lose 2 close friends like this. I'm late in telling you so but did not see this until now. Lost a few dogs myself (beagles) and it's very rough. Get another one would be my suggestion after things settle down. Many good dogs out there that need a home.

I am very sorry to hear about your dogs,the person that hit them did not stop,it is not too surprising,there are other people like that too,i hope you find the person that did it.

This is so sad! Especially both of your beautiful dogs. Paul, my thoughts go out to you. We have two labs, and 4 cats. I do understand. =^..^=sandi

Paul, we lost the best dog I've ever had (and I'm on number 36 and 37 right now) about 14 years ago, at age 3, to a collapsed back (at the time, the surgery for it was far outside our ability to pay and had only a 20% success rate), so we couldn't let her suffer. I was unable, however, to be in that room when she went to sleep (we were all too broken up) and I've regretted it ever since. The border collie I had before the two I have now developed cancer and this time I was there, looking in her eyes and comforting her as she died. Your two fur-faces obviously meant the world to your family and if there is a silver lining, as Diane said, it is that they saw a loving face before they passed, probably easing their pain a little. As for the person who did this, don't let it burn away at you too much. That person doesn't deserve your full attention. They'll find that what goes around, comes around. It took us about 6 months of an empty, quiet house to go looking for a dog and found two terrific ones. I highly recommend it, particularly since your children are still young.

Paul, so sorry to hear about your two dogs, Eddie & Rusty. You are so right in that they become a big part of the family. I've lost several dogs in the past & it's so hard to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you & your family. Thanks for sharing these lovely portraits.

Paul, I am so very sorry for you and your family. I am sure their lives with y'all was one of much fun and love. Remember those times.

Oh Paul...just came across this while perusing your gallery...though it's been a year since this happened I must extend my sincerest condolences...such a loss and sad story...I am an avid animal lover and this kind of thing is so heartbreaking...especially to watch them pass, as has also happened to me with a couple of cats over the years...I do hope their passing was fairly quick and I am glad to hear you were there to comfort them in their final moments...did you ever catch the guy?
