Bullet Emmitt Gasn
We decided to get a dog for my (then) 9 year old son, as he was an only child. We wanted him to experience that particular kind of unconditional love. As it turned out, we all experienced that special love.
We decided on a Golden Retriever. When we went to the breeder to pick out our puppy, we found there was only one left…..the largest pup in the litter with paws the size of baseballs! We were very nervous about this pup becoming a huge dog, which of course, he did, and we do not have any regrets. In fact, we think he was saved just for us.
Bullet was a beautiful dog with a heart of gold and a funny personality.
All he needed and wanted was love and companionship, which he returned in massive amounts. We will be forever grateful that Bullet was in our lives for 12 years, and will miss him and always love him. Rest in peace our beloved Bullet.
Sammie Harrison
Sammie was the epitome of the Golden rule. If ever there was a dog that loved to make other people feel welcomed and loved, it was him. We just hope now that Sammie can run free and do all the things he always loved. We are content in knowing that he’s watching over us, waiting until the day we finally reunite. We love and miss you Sammie, but we thank you for making our lives that much better.
Bella
Bella (GRREAT #03-148) aka Beanie, my kindred doggie spirit, loved nooks and crannies, being underfoot, squirrel sightings (then followed by chases), bones, head scratches, hugs, kisses, songs, walks in the park, nudging, hogging the bed, and psyching out the cat next door. She did not love the dastardly vacuum cleaner, loud noises, baths, rain, ear cleanings, thunderstorms, or having her bed moved during vacuuming. I loved her indescribably and think of her every day. I was blessed to have her and am so grateful to GRREAT for making it possible. (130716)
Nelly Coryell
Sweet Nelly (GRREAT #10-089) stole our hearts. Although she was only ours for a short 3 years, we will never forget her. She was the best dog we ever had and we miss her every day. Rest in peace, sweet girl.
Dutch Dehmlow
I first met Dutch (GRREAT 03-266) when his foster parents were walking him, and it was love at first sight. I knew we would adopt him. Dutch was the most loving Golden boy with the biggest smile. He preferred to be with his humans more than anything else, well maybe not more than eating, but close. He loved to taste whatever we were eating and made us laugh as he munched on corn on the cob, watermelon, and mango. He loved car rides, especially the convertible, and starred as Mr. July in GRREAT’s 2006 calendar. He was a blood donor for EVBB for many years. Dutch lived a great and happy life and was well traveled as we criss-crossed the country in our RV. The great outdoors was
the place he loved to be and we enjoyed so many adventures together. We were so fortunate to be Dutch’s forever family for almost 9 years when cancer reared its ugly head and we helped him to the Rainbow Bridge on February 8, 2013. Our hearts are filled with sadness as we mourn his loss, but the wonderful memories he gave us and all who knew him will last forever. Dutch, you will always be missed and forever loved.

Winston
Winston (08-182) was a registered therapy dog. He is profoundly missed by friends, family and those whose lives he touched.
Denali
Our beloved dog Denali was a rescue from Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue in 2001. He died peacefully in his sleep at 14. He was very loved by his family. He never met a stranger and always was up for a belly rub. He loved to roll over on his belly and close his eyes and be pet by anyone who would succumb to his demands. He loved to eat doggy ice cream and to wrestle with his brother T-bone. We will miss him dearly.
