One year ago today, my family had to put our dog, Scout, who was a Golden Retriever, to sleep. I can't believe its been a year. Time flies. And most of that time, has been spent away from my family. I've been away at college since last January. Whenever I go home I always expect to see him laying in one of his favorite spots or laying on the floor in my room. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. He was a great dog. So lovable and friendly. Just the best dog in the world. After we put him to sleep, I took his tag that had his name on it, and put it on my key chain. You know that old saying, that dog is man's best friend. Well, I always considered Scout to be my best friend.
