Sumo the Dobie

Sumo walking so proud around the Expo Center, him on his leash and me holding it just as proud. A little girl, in a blue ruffle dress, comes around the corner of one of the exhibits, she says “ mom a doggie “ and starts to run to sumo. Before the mom can stop her daughter she wraps her arms around him and gives him a big hug. Then proceeds to pull his ears and say “why are his ears so pointy ?” Sumo sits there like another day at the office. I say to the little girl “because they are cropped and they do that as it helps with ear infections, they can hear better with them up” She now lifts his lips and says “wow , his teeth are so white” Sumo opens his mouth far and wide and says all the better to eat you with little girl . THE END ... haha no just Kidding. Sumo opens his mouth huge for the little girl can see his big teeth. Her mom panicking not sure what to do at this point starts yelling “honey no, no, NO !!” While running over. The mom got there and I said “ don’t worry Sumo is good, but be carful here, some dogs are not so nice. Never go up to a strange dog until the owner says it’s safe” we talked for awhile she was looking for a dog breed for her daughter. Fell In love with sumo and ended up getting a Dobe from the same breeder as I got Sumo from. It was the pet expo, we were there to showcase our breed. The Doberman Pincher and Sumo was a great spokesmen. We did this for many years, for free, because we love the Doberman. Great, loving and caring family dog. Sumo was very goofy and loved by all. I miss the expo days .....

It’s been 5 years today since I had to let you go, it seems like yesterday I picked you up from the breeder and we were together. I will see you again soon on the rainbow bridge. Below is a poem by an unknown author. Have a read 👇🏻

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....
