A moving and powerful tribute to Chaco. A beautiful story and lesson in humanity. Thank you, Sandi, for sharing this personal journey. Sharing Chaco's voice moved me to tears - anguish for you for now, but freedom for him over the ridge.

What a beautiful tribute to a special being who helped to make you special. Chaco had 10 years of life surrounded by your love, nurturing and adventure. He surely knows that.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Chaco. He could brighten even the toughest days at the kennel. A hug and some howls would make everything okay. He was always my favorite.

Oh, Justin, thank you. I cried when I read your note. Chaco missed you when you moved. He loved you and used to squeak like crazy every time he saw you.

I miss you too. It was great to see you were there to love my boy when I brought him there.

Tim and I just listened to this podcast as we travel down the road with our girl. We could hear the love in your voice with every word of your tribute. While we listened to his howls it felt like he was saying goodbye. With the incredible ceremony you gave him for his travels over the rainbow ridge, it is certain he was met by Mountain and Tiwa. Now the trio is running wild together with no earthly suffering. We have taken time to give our girl extra hugs. Although we haven’t had wolves, we know the pain and heartache of losing part of the family. Our hearts are with you as you transition into a life without your beloved earthly wolf, Chaco.
