LAD suffered abuse by his owner at 7 months old in a horrific manner and was dropped in a ditch left to die....4 months he bravely fought to win his fate with help from Blue Pearl, The Arrow Fund & UC Davis but God called him home.

Hello LAD!
Time flies, things change, except for our love for you. 
It is comforting to know you are happy and healthy were you are, maybe herding some angelic sheeps.
Have a happy New Year!

Dear Lad,
How is it that the time goes by so fast? How is it that a beautiful young rough collie can unite so many so quickly across the world? How is it that such cruelty can go unpunished? So many questions….what are the answers sweet boy?
I believe the answers are many… some personal, some individual, some global, some private, some in prayer, some in action. I know that for me Lad, you are a compelling, loving heartfelt answer…that beautiful loving, trusting face, that spirited, plumed tail wagging for no other reason perhaps than unconditional love, hope, faith and joy. An unseen face in humanity? Someone will come someone…thank God for all of those someone’s. Thank God for you beautiful boy, your faith and unconditional love brought us together to make a stand, to stand for change, to stand for you and the many more like you. We will never forget, never give up. Live*Love*Lad
Love You forever boy.❤️

My dear, sweet, beautiful boy. I am so sorry for what you went through but so thankful you were surrounded by love and compassion throughout your treatment and passing. You were so full of joy, so forgiving and loving even though it was a human who wounded you so cold and cruelly. May we all learn from your example. We carry on for you and in your name Lad as we continue to fight for the others that still suffer at the hands of evil. I love you so much Lad, you are forever in my heart.❤️

Dear Lad, as you see, you still live in our hearts. 
I realize you would be only 8 years old in this year 2021. What food, sniffs, plays and love could you have experienced during this time that was stolen from you? We will never know exactly, of course, although they would have been the best possible under the circumstances.
Run free, whole and painless in a field filled with sheep and other animals, namely those we lost and might be playing with you, all of you united by the love we had for you and them.

Well Lad...i am truly sorry i will miss your online groups memorial this year especially in my LAD: never just a dog group but the powers of control has taken me down....
I hope your spirit knows i have not, nor could i ever, forgot/forget you. You have been my savior thru n thru in more than one incident but im afraid this time theres nothing that will help overcome this.

You are and always will be a part of me. You will always be held close in my heart. I look at your photo every day that hangs on my wall and feel a peace...im sure it must be the type of peace your spirit has bcuz its different than my normal feeling of peace. Your paw print and your bib still adorn my headboard where i can reach out and touch at anytime, especially in time of need. You are always close by for me in one way or the other.

Physically you have moved on but forever in my heart you live, always and forever to be my hero....7 years now and i still draw upon the strength and determination you showed. I love you dearly sweet LAD, always and forever to use Rebeccas phrase "LIVE LOVE LAD" and i want to say thank you, thank you for reminding me on soooo many occasions that having determination is a huge part of moving forward no matter what.
Go run as free as the wind in your heavenly after life as much as you want. There will be one day (God willing) that i will SYOTOS....❤❤❤

Sweet, sweet Lad, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I so wish you could have survived but God needed a brave Angel and he brought you home to watch over us. Thank you dear Lad for your forgiveness of the human race and the love you bestow upon us

Oh Lad...our sweet gallant boy. What an impact one brave and loving little collie could have on so many in so many places of this world. From the time we first met you to now has passed too quickly. You would have been seven this year. So many had a part in trying to save your life but it was not to be...God’s ways are higher than our own. He called you Home to His side and showed us through your passing what must be done. I am glad to say in my own state that stricter laws have been passed and I know in other places here and around the world the same has happened. You did this Lad. For the love of a beautiful young collie the world has changed. If not for you nothing could have sparked the bright light you did. You brought light into the darkness of neglect and abuse and because of you laws have changed and lives have been saved. ❤️

Hello Lad, wherever you are. Thinking of your on this 6th anniversary of your passing, imagining you happy and healthy, surrounded by other animal friends and mostly, having forgiven the person who allowed your life to end well before you could really enjoy it. You are forever a good boy! Love you!

Dear Lad. You will forever be in our hearts. May your sweet spirit live on. Love you Lad

A PUP WHO UNITED A WORLD

July 19, 2016

Feb 2014 The Arrow Fund of Ky got a call of a collie who needed immediate help due to being in dire condition. 

LAD had been shot in the face & dropped off in a ditch left to die. However, for days he managed to hold on was found and taken in by The Arrow Fund who helps all the severely abused, tortured & neglected animals.

LAD managed to hang on for 4 months before he succumbed to his injuries June 10, 2014, despite all the good treatment he received from Blue Pearl of Ky & UC DAVIS of Ca.

Despite petitions, letters, phone calls made to the judge/DA/prosecution, LAD's case never made it to trial as an Alford Plea was taken 2 days before trial was to begin. 

The person responsible for this horrendous crime was the owner, in a drunken stupor & domestic situation with his partner. He ended up with 3 years probation, cant possess any firearms at this time, must submit to random testing, and IF he does no wrong his record gets expunged after the 3 years are up....

This is absolutely no justice for a young innocent defenseless puppy.....LAD touched the hearts of many and he will never be forgotten.....his spirit, his memory will forever live on.....
