My beautiful, brave, incredible hero dog is dead. Eva. Two years ago I placed her with a single woman, and on the third day she had Eva, she was invaded by two men who were in her bedroom. My friend Gayle did not know they were there, but when she let a hysterical barking Eva in from the back yard, she ran straight for the bedroom door, throwing herself on it, and barking hysterically. Gayle opened the door (she thought Eva was just stressed by being in a new home)...and Eva threw herself at the men. One dived out the high bedroom window, and the other climbed on the sewing machine, with Eva after him tooth and nail. Gayle ran for her life to a neighbor's house. The cops came, and Eva would not let them in...Gayle was screaming "Don't shoot my dog"...she got Eva under control, and the cops told her that Eva probably saved her life, as a woman in the neighborhood had come upon the same scene, and was murdered. Sigh. Eva was 5, and died of cancer. She had it in her spine, and her leg, which was broken by the cancer. The vet kept her comfortable at Gayle's home, and Gayle brought her to me to say goodbye. She died the next week. She was so happy to see me, but was so in love with Gayle, all could see it...shining from her eyes. Shining through my tears. My beautiful Eva, you were sent to me, and to Gayle, to save her, and then you left us, mission accomplished.
