If you've ever known the love of a special dog, grab a tissue and read on...
Mikey was a champion from Evergreen Labradors in Cottonwood, California near Redding. His kids, grandkids and great grandkids are scattered throughout Southern California - we've met some of them personally.
Huge, aristocratic and goofy, if you can picture that. Many champs themselves. So it was a very sad day, indeed, when Mikey's breeder, Carolyn Royal, shared the news of his journey over the Rainbow Bridge.
What better way to honor him than to plant a tree - specifically a white Dogwood tree. No pun was intended - but don't you love it?
Here's Carolyn and her crew who carry on Mikey's proud legacy.
