Dear Captain, Years have passed but forgetting you is impossible. The world has changed, everything is uglier and even humanity is meaner, but beautiful souls like you will always remain in our hearts. I love you.
This memorial was created in memory of CAPTAIN The German Shepherd, just 2 years old, who passed away on July 19, 2012 from a severe case of Animal Abuse by his owner, We will remember him forever and ever and ever~
CAPTAIN was just a baby really. At two years he was just starting his life. What happened to him is a terrble tradgedy and I am sure as a young puppy he never imagined being hurt and tortured by a human... his owner no less.
CAPTAIN and his story has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world, of every color, age, religion, even people that don't own a dog have been moved by his courage and fight to live after being left to die in a dumpster.
CAPTAIN has become the innocent face of animal abuse and the AMBASSADOR for change, Change in laws and change in the way we view and value our precious animals, and he has forever changed our hearts for the good, for if we all just have one little piece of him in our hearts, to carry with us through our lives, we are the better for it.
Please clck on the TAB at the top named "stories" to read how I came to know about him~
For More Information on his story and the criminal case that followed
Please visit the TRIBUTE PAGE on facebook I made for him and will forever keep and maintain to Honor him and keep his memory alive.
Thank -you

I would have loved you forever.
You would have been treated like a king in my home.
I'm so sorry you had such hateful humans to hurt you. They obviously had no idea of the unconditional love they could have had from you.
I hope you are at peace in the arms of the Angels and getting all the treats you want and deserve sweet boy.
RIP sweet Captain

I am so sorry that you had to die so soon and in such a terrible way. Dogs give so much love to us and deserve only the same back. They rely on us for a good, happy life and you were horribly let down. Please know that you haven't been forgotten and that a lot of us care a great deal and will do whatever we can to protect all our animal friends. Rest easy sweet pup.

My Dear sweet Captain,
Happy Anniversary to you at the Rainbow Bridge. Since my last post to you, I have lost my sweet fur babies Cody and Cady, my life without them has changed, even though I have a new fur baby it is not the same. Run happy and free Captain, you are no longer in pain. If you happen to see my Smokey and Cody and Cady tell them I love them.

RIP Captain. I am so so sorry that you were let down and murdered by a member of the so called human race, you did not deserve to be treated in such a callous way. My heart ached and I cried so many tears when I read your story. I can't and never will understand how such loyal and loving hearts such as yours can be abused. May you have found love over the Rainbow Bridge Captain and I hope I may see you one day when I get to meet my beloved dogs who are waiting for me.

My dear Captain, you have affected me in a way that is so deeply rooted. I feel sometimes I knew you though we never met. I wish you could have been my dog and known the love you deserved. You were let down by your owners not once but 3x! and you paid the price with your life. I am so sorry sweet boy... I know you suffer no more.. I know you are a star in the heavens shining brightly, I will never forget you and hope God grants me the gift to see you one day when it is time. <3 Love you Captain

Captain.. Dear dear Boy~ your passing is not in vain... you have helped your other animal friends by bringing awareness to animal abuse because of your suffering others may have been saved...I wish your stay on Earth would have been happier. I am so sorry for that~ I thought of you this morning and I hope someday we can meet in heaven when the time is right... I will stay by your side and give you all the love you deserve~ Until then, play with the angels... rest in Gods arms~ Love to you always

Captain should have led a long, happy, love filled life. All animals should have that right. Instead he was tortured and brutally murdered. Please help make changes to the laws and the ability to enforce severe penalties to those who think it is all right to hurt any animal. Rest in peace Captain.

Every year feels the same for me... the haunting picture of him in the dumpster... clinging to life... I will never get that image out of my mind and heart... I have german shepherds... they are the most loyal loving intelligent regal dogs that exist.. and I am sure Captain could not understand why? why? was his owner doing this? and his owner sustained NO injuries, not one.. and I know captain could have fought back and he didn't and THAT also makes me sad. He was a good dog.. that landed in the wrong hands because of careless previous owner who did NOT take the proper steps that WE in Rescue do every day when re-homing a dog, to ENSURE they go to a good stable home. Had he done that Captain would be alive today. I will never forget you sweet boy... a part of you will remain in my heart forever <3

Run free over the Rainbow Bridge Captain where you will never ever be abused again. All your pain and wondering WHY your family member could do this is gone forever. You are still remembered with loving thoughts after 4 years and you will be pleased to know that it was your untimely death that brought many people to campaign against the abuse from which you suffered. May your Heart be filled with Love for us humans because we are not all like your tormentor. Have fun Captain over the Rainbow Bridge, you deserve it.
