In September 2009, I started this blog by answering the question: Why write a blog? For nearly seven years, the purpose has been the same: “This blog is my running tribute to the best dog in the world….”

Now, as I am about to get into a cab to leave New York City for Texas, it is time to publish my final post in this love letter to my boy, Chance. I would like to thank everyone who has read and written to me in the past few months. Your kind words have helped with the healing process.

His name was Chancellor the Valiant. He was my Chance. He wasn’t just a good dog, he was a great one. To me, he was the best dog in the world. He made me a better, kinder and more compassionate person. He loved me unconditionally and I loved him the same. I have always said that I chose him, but the truth is we chose each other. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.

To Chance,

I will never forget you. You will always be my big orange dog. One day, we will meet again. Until then, take part of my heart to keep you warm, safe and happy, and I will hold your memory close and remember all the love and happiness that we shared during our time together in this life. I love you.

Your Dad
