Keeno our 110lb German shepherd died today of liver cancer. I got the call today at work from my frantic wife. He just collapsed on the kitchen floor and that was it. I got him when he was only 12 weeks old. He was already 30 lbs and we knew he was gonna be huge.
When I was working nights for a couple of years my wife would be home alone. Having him in the house made her feel safe. She never worried about someone breaking into the house. Always by her side and slept at the foot of the bed. He was the smartest best dog I've ever owned. I house broke him in three weeks. Amazing. The whole family is upset about it but my wife is taking it especially hard. R.I.P buddy.

Rest in Peace Keeno.

Great pictures rhipsher. Sorry for your loss. I feel for you. We lost our 85 lb lap dog a few years ago. German Shepherds are simply amazing. Not only intelligent but the most loyal, protective, and fearless friend one can imagine.

I'm also sorry to learn of your family's loss Rick.

Great pictures - he sure was a hoss and it sounds like he was very special.

RIP Keeno

Sorry for your loss. Dog's get to be part of the family. And at most times are more loyal.

WB9MCW · 05-19-2011

So sorry for your loss of a great dog.

A pet loss is very tough. Sorry and RIP Keeno

SO sorry to hear of your loss. I know it's a tough time for you guys - but it sounds like he went fairly quickly, always preferable to a terribly long slow decline in my opinion.
