8-29-13 to 7-27-19 Leonardo wasn’t a dog, he was my soulmate. From the second he was born, we had an instant bond. We spent 24/7 together, rarely would anyone see me without my Leo. He was the smartest, most loving, most gentle, and most stubborn boy ever. Leonardo had a zest for life and loved all of our adventures. Together the two of us traveled all over the country & Canada. I never worried because I knew Leonardo was always there taking care of me. Medical Alert/Service Dogs are really special, but Leonardo took it a step further. He alerted Georgianne, that she was about to faint. She sat down right before she fainted, saving her from falling to the ground. He alerted Bill when his blood sugar was really low, he’s alerted Kathy to on coming migraines, and he was constantly telling Suzanne when she needed to sit and take a break. He’s saved me from passing out while I was driving (multiple times), he’d alert my on coming migraines and would refuse to let me get up until HE felt I was ok, he would make bring me my blood pressure monitor when he felt I should check my BP, Leo would comfort me when I had my night terrors, and I could go on and on but I am too exhausted. He will be deeply missed by all that loved him. Thank You to my friends who supported us on our fantastic journey, cheered us on every step of the way, and who loved my sweet sweet boy. Until we meet again my little Leo, I love you to the moon and back
***Leonardo is the 1st Short Haired Weimaraner to earn the DMWYD TD ROM title! To earn this title the sire or dam & their offspring must earn a combined total of 10 (or more) Trick Dog Titles! I'd like to thank Sam Mostek for putting a NTD on Riva, Samantha Shepard & Shai Shepard for putting an NTD, ITD, & ATD on Gwen & Lily. I'm beyond proud that Leonardo's (and mine) love of Trick Dog is being passed on to our next generation.***
