Goodbye to a beloved friend

We are very sad to report that on Saturday, June 15, 2002, Mason left us and moved onto the Rainbow Bridge after a brief illness brought on by old age.

Mason loved being at NCCR. A few months ago he stayed with a volunteer over the weekend and she had to laugh when she brought him back to the shelter. She said she never saw a dog so happy to be brought to a shelter as Mason was when they pulled in. She said his whole face lit up as soon as he realized where he was and his tail was swinging back and forth a mile a minute! Mason was loved so much by all of us at NCCR. We will miss him greatly.

Mason was always, always happy and smiling! Every dog liked Mason, even the ones who didn't like any other dogs still liked Mason. Mason loved all people, especially children. He was the most easy going dog we'd ever met! That sweet little crooked face of his will stay imprinted in our hearts for years to come. Goodbye, sweet Mason. We will see you again some day.

Love from all your friends at NCCR.

Brenda Luce, NCCR Co-Director
