Truly sad news there Kevonakona, chin up fella.
I to have avoided this up to now. Really sorry to hear what happened. All here are very sad when I told them. Try hard to remember the best bits, he looked great! We hope you can find a different little monster soon - not to replace him but to start a new friendship.
You did a great thing giving him a loving home. RIP Digit.
RIP Digit 😥
+1, You did a wonderful thing giving him a loving home.
Very sorry to hear!
He looks a right troublesome bu66er.
sorry to hear your loss.
You did everything you could to try to save him. Sometimes no matter what you do it's not enough. Go out and get another, maybe one that's more at home with water breed wise if you live next to a river. Hindsight I know.
Really sad news.Leave it a while then give another one a good home .lots of selfish people dump dogs at Christmas there will be another looking for a loving home.
that's grim, I've had my rescue dog 4 weeks now and he's irreplaceable. the little shit.
Terrible news & I really feel for you....
But as others have said,getting another dog really is the best remedy for this.I never thought we could replace out last dog of 15 yrs but the family finally convinced me to get another one 2 years ago,after a 4 year gap.Although I'll never forget our last one, having one around again certainly makes it easier & I wish we'd done it years ago......
That's really sad, it is really hard when you loose your dog.
It sounds like you did everything you could, at least you were there for him over that short time you had him.
Bad Times 🙁
I am gutted for you for your loss, grief for the dog for few days and get yourself another one from the Dog's home again, there will be some more unwanted dogs after Xmas in the Dog's home.
Stay strong mate
Gutted for you mate, that's so sad. 🙁
There's another dog out there that needs you x
Sorry about your loss, sounds like he had some quality time with someone who really loved him.
Take care
So sorry to hear about your loss, so soon too, just as you got to know him. I hope christmas brings better luck for you.
So sorry to hear.
As above, go and give your second Digit the same chance in life.
THanks everyone. Feel sorry for the jogger who stopped just as i realised there was nothing more i could do. Finding a grown man, soaking wet, kneeling on a snowy path, crying onto a dog must be weird.
He died living life to the full IMO...
interesting conversation at the pound:
Could I have another please, erm my last one drowned' honestly!
really sorry to hear the news....i love dogs,dont have one but borrow plenty and think theyre fab..
a similar situation happened to one of my mates( a fireman) and he didnt hesitate going in after the dog....did cpr and mouth to mouth and the dog came too but died later in the vets..very sad!
sad stuff - as they ^ said, seems he went out having fun
Hmmm ways to get rid of Bingo....
very sad news
at least you gave him some good times
Sorry to hear this Kev, i was looking forward to meeting him! - Lau and me both liked the look of Digit on the pics! I am glad he went to a great master for his short time out of the kennel.
Get back on the horse as they say. Clive looks like a good un.
On a Good Dog
O, my little pup ten years ago
was arrogant and spry,
Her backbone was a bended bow
for arrows in her eye.
Her step was proud, her bark was loud,
her nose was in the sky,
But she was ten years younger then,
And so, by God, was I.
Small birds on stilts along the beach
rose up with piping cry.
And as they rose beyond her reach
I thought to see her fly.
If natural law refused her wings,
that law she would defy,
for she could do unheard-of things,
and so, at times, could I.
Ten years ago she split the air
to seize what she could spy;
Tonight she bumps against a chair,
betrayed by milky eye!
She seems to pant, Time up, time up!
My little dog must die,
And lie in dust with Hector's pup;
So, presently, must I.

Sorry mate
baldSpot - why do think the OP was a bit pathetic for being so upset after 'only' having Digit for 2 weeks - and he could just go get another dog. Funny attitude really.
Thats really sad, hope you can still have a great xmas. I'm sure if the dog could have chosen a way to go it wouldnt have involved sitting unloved in a rescue centre.
Gutted for you.
very sorry for you mate.understand entirely.
when you feel ready,the best thing may be for you to give another dog a home ?
very sad , chin up matey he had a few weeks with ya , the pic shows a very happy chappy.
