Editor: Tomorrow will be exactly one year since my loving dog and best friend, Jordy, dug his way under the fence at my home in Ladner to escape the fireworks and ran terrified from my life.
This horrible experience opened a new respect that have for the friends, family, acquaintances and total strangers that took part in the search for my lost dog. The willingness to help, the unconditional caring for the sake of a lost dog, and the consideration of my feelings that were displayed by all has me in awe of my community.
I was, and still am, overwhelmed by the amazing show of support that I was afforded during the ordeal. I cannot begin to thank everyone who participated and/or offered information
or support. I can only hope that you know who you are and will accept my deepest, heartfelt gratitude at this time.
When I realized that the reports and sightings at the end were of a different animal, it was a difficult decision for me to stop searching for my Jordy.
I may have lost my dog but I gained an immense appreciation for the care and concern of everyone who took the time out of their busy lives to keep a watchful eye out for him.
You will never know how much I appreciated you calling me with even the faintest hope that he might be returned to my arms. We live in a beautiful place and I can attest that the people who live here outshine the beauty.
