Tonka was a gem. He touched so many lives with his loving and energetic spirit as a member of our family and as a proud member of the Pet Therapy programs at Poudre Valley hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies. He was also an honorary member of Edward’s Pipe and Cigar shop. He LOVED his responsibilities of providing his belly for rubs, his big furry self for hugs, and his appetite so no one’s treat box was over-filled. He will be missed. Pets come into our lives, stay for a while and leave pawprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. Tonka had big paws.
