Ron,
Thanks to your great family for saving Lucca. We save the homeless dogs and they end up saving us, too.
My wife and I are rescue volunteers for Brittany’s and Aussies.
Grieve gently with your family.

I knew I shouldn’t have read your article–but I did. What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Lucca. I went through the same thing last year. A friend shared the following with me:
“We wish we could have them for our lifetime but, we are blessed to have them for theirs.”
Take care and thanks for sharing Lucca’s goodbye story. Now I have to go get another tissue.

Hello Ron,
I just came across your article and wanted to tell you what a beautiful tribute it was to both Lucca and our relationship with dogs. I have two 4-year-old Labs, and a 7-month-old Malamute/German Shepherd/Pit Bull rescue that we just adopted a few months ago, and your piece was a reminder of how humbling it is to be a part of their lives.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Best,
Nora VandenBerghe

The July copy of PRB has been sitting on my desk for several days and I finally took a few moments this afternoon to read it. Imagine my surprise as I am reading your Publisher’s Note (“Generations of Fun”) to see my name! I want first to thank you for including my submission and, more importantly, to share with you how touched I am by your column. You brought a tear to my eye!
The relationship of grandparents and grandchildren is very special–my three sons are in their twenties and share a special bond with my parents. It is refreshing to see this explored in the magazine.
I enjoy your publication and want to thank you again.
Best wishes,
Lesly Ferris
Director
Kent Park and Recreation
