A Dog's Last Will and Testament

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

There are 200 million homeless dogs around the world. We love animals and we wanted help put this challenge on the agenda going into 2015 Holiday Season. We discovered the poem “A Dog’s Last Will” and created a film to support this beautiful poem.
We decided to give the film away to organisations active on the subject of placement of dogs, and to allow them to use the film in their advocacy work. We also helped them with including their logo and subtitles in other languages than English and Norwegian. So far the movie has been used by organisations all over the world - Norway, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Canada and USA to mention a few. Leidar has also helped on social media strategy and implementation.
It is too early to say how many thousands have watched the movie, since the distribution is done over so many different sources - but we are already touched deeply by the many emotional reactions we have seen from dog lovers around the world.

    "Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together." -Author unknown

She was tremendous -- smart, loyal, fun and a great watchdog. She died 5\15\23 and I think about her almost constantly. I hope the pain at least starts to subside. This video is a help. Thanks.

    I also have a coming 15 Yo Aussie. One I bred ...before born, Mom and Dad were RAW Carnivore FED, and this girl has been too...all her life. She also has NEVER HAD ANY VACCINES...by educated CHOICE. Minimal health issues...some stiffness upon awakening in the a.m., but STILL runs around the fenced yard with speed with her son. I know her vision/hearing, isn't so good anymore...but I don't move furniture around, so she navigates fine in our home, that she was born in and raised in. Going to be painful, to lose the last dog, from my original competition "obedience" bloodline. Sigh.

    My sister is married to a preacher and she came to visit me when I was working on a large project in Phoenix. We went back to their hotel room and she came right out with the question "Why don't you believe in god?" I told her I have a lot of unanswered questions, things like all those wars that have been fought between religions, things like that. Then I told her that when I die, I want to go to Rainbow Bridge and take care of all those animals that are waiting to see their human come walking up the trail. She asked me "Don't you want to go see Mom in Heaven?" I asked her if the people that have gone to heaven can't come outside to walk the dogs and cats, etc.." She had no answer and she looked at her husband, the preacher, and he had no response. She hasn't asked me about it again. I quit travelling for work when I was in Ireland and my wife called me to tell me she was at the Vet and my girl Kahlua wasn't going to make it. I told her to put the phone down by her ear and when she did, I said "Kahlua, wag your tail.." I heard it thumping on the floor, then it started to slow down and then it stopped.. My wife came back on the phone and said "She's gone." and I told her I already knew. I've still got dogs (4), 2 cats, 2 parakeets but, when I think of Kahlua and any of the other dogs I've had over the years, it's hard to see what I'm typing on the screen. I do whatever I can to help support animal rescue like volunteering at fund raisers, delivering bags of dog and cat food from pet stores that are over stocked and I've probably got about 12 leashes and various sized collars in a bag in the back of my truck in case I see a stray running loose. I've thought of going to the shelters with a few of my Nikon cameras and getting some decent pictures of the dogs and cats so they look better in thier online advertisements.

    Lost my pug Riley last week and it hurts. I got him for my daughter for Christmas 15 years ago. We knew his time was short when he lost the use of his hind legs a few months ago but we carried and cared for him he was in no pain. But last week he was asleep on my lap and I needed to go upstairs to bed so I had by daughter come to get him. He didn’t move but he opened his eyes and was breathing and I knew it was something bad but the minute my daughter picked him up he picked his head up and look directly into her eyes as to say it’s time I have to leave and by this time we were all crying and petting him then my daughter kissed his head and said it’s all right Riley if you have to leave and after a couple of minutes he passed. I will always remember how he looked right at my daughter as to say goodbye. We miss him terribly but know we will see him and our other pets who passed years earlier. Until then we love you and miss you Riley

    Hi folks, I was awakened this morning by the songs of many birds that filled the sky. I was greeted in a field of beautiful wildflowers by my Great Grandmother. I am now a great white wolf, you see I no longer have the need for my earthly form. The bright sun makes my long smooth coat shine. The field is lined by great trees, and the sky is always bright with a light breeze moving small white clouds along. There are steams with clear, cool water running over flat rocks in the fields. I have met many of my family here and we have run and howled the day away, resting at times in the shade of the trees. There is more than enough to eat of the finest meats and many bones to chew on. We are all young again and we play with toys and each other like puppies. This evening we all gathered close together to rest at the foot of our Father's bed. God loves all he has created but, we are his guardians. For that short time, I spent with you, I Thank You for your love and care. I will await the day that we shall come together again in our Lord's home. Your Beloved Puppy

    We had to put our cat Scurry to sleep just past midnight today on October 28th 2021. She was 16 and I’ve grown up almost my whole life with her. I feel lost, I try to convince myself she’s passed but I refuse to believe it. I miss her so much already.

    This video has a very big part of my heart. Our bailey is 15 and half years old this year. We rescued her at 3 months old and she is a very big part of our lives in her older age. We can see her changing on a monthly basis. We know our time with her is nearing the end. We try to do everything we can to make every moment special. She will not be forgotten for sure. Nowadays we have a big fenced in yard and we can save more than life for sure. Thank you for An amazing video.

    Old statement, been around for decades. But it does have a great meaning. When I first read it many years ago, I no longer got a puppy, I started getting shelter dogs and even today, one is laying beside me as I write this, And they have all been the best dogs I have ever had. I highly suggest to anyone, a dog from a shelter makes the best friend a person could ever have

    My Mom rescued Ralphie 6 years ago. He had a severe heart murmur. That was not disclosed to her at adoption. She found out by taking him to a local vet who said it was not only obvious but the worst kind. We did everything we could. Ralphie was kind, loving, stubborn. In the end his heart and lungs gave out. Neither of us would trade a moment we had with Ralphie.

The words hit hard. I heard somewhere about a dog that passed the owner said something like. I opened the door and gave my dog a home and now that he's gone I hope god will open the door to his home when my dog goes scratching on it. I was thinking the same thing after hearing it. I bet little buddy when he passed was scratching on God's door to his house looking to become apart of his family where he is also a new dog and no longer suffering anymore.

    Thank you. The message was perfect for us. We had just lost our Molly after 15 years of life and love. We followed the message in the poem and 2 months later we adopted Ori a stray Terrier Border Collie mix. A friend's daughter found him lost and wandering alone in the mountains of North Carolina. He was in bad shape with no collar or chip for ID. They looked for weeks online and saw no ads for Ori or response to their ads. They let everyone know he was available. As soon as we saw his photo we connected. Long story short Ori has been a phenomenal dog and easily adapted to our daily life. He' is so full of love and affection. He looks very much like the dog in the poem.

    WOW. This is so incredibly moving and emotional. Many years ago, when my dog Rocky died, I was beside myself and swore to never have another pet again, and I was in so much emotional pain. Then about a year later. a Maine Coon stray cat came my way and we had 14 wonderful years together. Then Sydney died, and I fed and took care of the stray cats in my area. Then a little gray stray Korat cat came into my life. I named her Katherine. She is about 2 or 3 years old, so I should have a reasonable amount of time with her.

    I lost my big old mutt Little Bear in 2018. Around the same time a friend in Wyoming died of cancer, and the new home she had arranged for her 7-year-old Corgi Laddie didn't work out. Nobody's fault, just one of those things. I was a distant Plan B, put myself on the list because she was a good friend and anyway I didn't think it would come to anything. They drove all the way from Montana to rural Arizona to bring him to me, and he spent a good year before he really trusted me as his person: Just too many changes. But rather abruptly he changed his mind and we got to be great buddies. He loved Jeep rides and chasing free-range cattle out of the yard. At his size he was kind of in the middle of the food chain so I didn't think he'd ever get off the leash, but he learned to stay close when we went for walks. I loved that silly-looking little mutant more than I expected to. Then after our second year together he got lymph cancer and went downhill fast. In mercy I had to put him down. It was about eight months before I could face getting another dog. Two dogs in two years seemed too much. But one day I found myself in a dog shelter in the big town about 50 miles away and there was this frightened little Anatolian mix pup. I didn't really want another big dog at my age but he really needed out of that loud concrete cage. Again, it was a while before he warmed up to me but we've been together two years now and he's my BIG pup. And he's staring at me right now, telling me it's time for evening walkie. Gotta go. :)

I've never had something I loved so much , die in my arms . I fill like a I betrayed my best friend , I'm so sorry, I truly loved that dog . I beleave a old homeless dog or pup would be more than welcome by beloved Jazzy to come into that was her home , to restore the love and friendship and protection she gave so well , all she short life . Thank you Jesus for the time we had , and the strength to carry on with love for all animals . Good bye old friend , death is less scary known you are still waiting for me to come home , with my lord Jesus and all the loved ones that have gone before me . I can't hide the sadness I fill right now , but I will smile whenever I think about the love you gave me , you made me a better person , and I truly know that it is to be loved , I believe God made dogs for that reason, they are the greatest teacher's of love and friendship .

    I know my dog Woody would have written something like this. He got hit by a car and died during the night in the vets office. I wish I could have been there to hold him as he passed away. I went to the vets office to pick him up the next day, to bring him home to bury him. Burying him had to be one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I asked the vet if he thinks I should get another dog right away. I left with a golden retriever someone left tied to his office door handle during the night.
