Love the Celebration of your beautiful Abby. I’ve lost four of them. I have a mom and her son now. They are the best friends we could ever have.

Lost mine too. Getting a new one in two weeks. House and life is empty without him. Best dogs in the world.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️

Another terrific video of your beautiful Abby. So very sorry you've lost her; but, she had a long and happy life with you and your family. Stunning Stafford and they are the most loving, loyal and steadfast breed - nothing beats the love of a Stafford. Rest easy at Rainbow Bridge, sweet Abby. She will be waiting for you when the time comes for you all to be together again. Thank you posting this great tribute to Abby.

I watch this @ cry every time 😢...remembering dogs passed ....such a sweet girl♡ Rip Abby♡❤️💋❤️

What a heart-warming tribute! I cried because I could feel the love between you two and also because I can truly empathize as we just lost our black, Staffordshire Bull Terrier three weeks ago. She was almost 13. I'm so glad you can experience that special type of love and joy again with Lily. RIP Abby

I just got rescued by a Staffy named Harley, I never even considered any of the pit family, I wasn't even really looking for a lifetime dog, I was just volunteering to walk rescues at a local shelter. Harley stole my heart and I get choked up just telling people how amazing he is. Needless to say I'm crying my eyes out at your video. Abby was a beautiful and amazing member of your family, thank you for sharing how wonderful she was. I am brand new to this level of love and I can't imagine loosing my Harley.

Wow. Smiles just like my Angus. Beautiful!!

So sad to find Abby has passed. Beautiful tribute, beautiful life, beautiful girl. Thank you.

Beautiful video .... Staffies are always smiling :-)

True respect, wonderful video and tribute to your gorgeous Abby - a wonderful life she had, blessed by the love shown everyday - sadly missed by so many of us around the world that loved to see her ..

she was such a beautiful girl

Rest in peace dear aby. 🙏❤🌻🐶. Xxx

Che bel video Staffordshire bull terrier bellissima Saluti da l'italia MILANO dal mio Staffy di nome Jack 🐕💪👍😍

As a grown man with a Staffie too that certainly brought a tear to my eye! Beautiful.

I'm watching this at my office, I swear I'm gonna break down and cry now :( Sorry for your loss.

On the 25/7/2018 we lost our beloved boy mr winston a true friend and loving companion our hearts are empty and sore he is dearly missed and will never be forgotten

Oh dear. I've just finished crying from your other video and now I'm off again. Beautiful dog, and a wonderful long life. Thankyou for sharing it. I'm getting a little black staff pup tomorrow and I'm calling her Kerry. I hope I can make Kerry smile the way you made Abby smile.

Stunning photography, you are very talented. Love how you both adored Abby, you now have Lily who is also loved. Love encapsulated. It's phenomenal how we can interrelate with other species. This illustrates how beautiful the bond can be.

My second Service Dog, Phoebe Amanda Russ, is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and is going on 13 as of the spring of 2018. Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful video of your Sweet Abby Girl! These Staffies are amazing, but I do feel that way about all pit bull-type dogs, Am Staffs and Staffordshire Bull Terriers. My first Service Dog was an Am Staff mix, Rebekah Sue Russ, who I lost to an unexpected stroke about one month after she turned 10. I needed a Service Dog very much, but just could not imagine bonding so closely with another dog again so I went back to rescuing pit bull-type dogs whose lives were endangered, training & socializing them and then finding them a Furever Family. I've been a pit bull-type dog advocate for several decades, so there's never been any question about what type of rescued dog I would use as a Service Dog and my girls have been amazing Breed Ambassadors with large groups of friends/fans every where we go! After about 6 months, I decided that it was time for me to open my heart to my second Service Dog and the next day I got a call just before noon from our local animal control telling me I needed to come and see the Staffie they had accepted this morning. I had only been thinking about the BIG dogs, but when I saw her come out of the cage with her big smile, I started laughing and asked if she wanted to be my Little Girl? Of course, all the full body wagging meant, "YES!." She has taught me so much in our time together and we have had a fun & loving relationship, together 24/7. She was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and there is not much to be done except keep her immune system strong with good nutrition, which is a continuation of my belief in whole, natural food diets. A few weeks ago, she started limping and was no longer willing to jump into the car, so I increased her arthritis treatments and bought a sling so I could help her get in and out of the car. She has never even whimpered, but unfortunately these strong, beautiful dogs are not big on telling you they are in pain so you have to watch them carefully. When there was no improvement and she seemed to not even want to stand and eat off her table, I called for an appointment with her vet. ACL injuries in both rear legs - my heart was breaking. . . I knew that I would do whatever I could to keep her going because there is a good possibility that she will still have another 2 to 3 years with Mom even with the Leukemia. But, we live in a small, farming community so to get the best care for her, I've always traveled a little over an hour to her vet. That became really difficult when I had to stop driving several years ago because of having blackouts that neurologists couldn't explain and didn't know how to treat. Now, I was facing the need to take her 60+ miles away for 2 separate surgeries, a cost of about $3K +, coming up with motel money so I could be with her as much as possible (and feed her, I'm not letting anyone put her on some, inadequate kibble when her body needs the best nutrition possible, and she has come to expect Mom to spoon feed her right now when she doesn't feel so chipper - I laugh and tell her, "One of these days Mom is going to find the person who spoiled you so much and have words!" She smiles and wags - she is very obedient and hard working, but she does have me wrapped around her little paw!). So, after finding a good bunch of articles online about healing ACL injuries with supplements, anti-inflammatories, swimming and physical therapy I came out and created a playlist of videos on KZfaq about the same subject. That's how I ended up seeing this video about Abby recommended for me and very grateful that I could see it. To those of you who are new to this breed and others who are missing their 4-legged companions - I do assure you that it's so very difficult and painful to say, "See you soon, Darling!" But I do find some comfort in knowing that as heartbreaking as it is to end these too brief relationships, it would be horrible to never have experienced the love, laughter, cuddles, total devotion (on both parts!) and soul soothing therapy of partnering with such a special friend. We are left with wonderful memories - that, for awhile, don't seem like nearly enough to keep us going, but loving and caring for these truly special friends will help you to grow into a better person, a stronger friend and to know that we must always protect and defend anyone who is unable to speak up for themselves. One of the other reasons why I was so terrified of putting her (and even my panic ridden self - when she's not beside me) through 2 surgeries and a long rehabilitation period, was the ways that might stop us again from bringing in a sibling for Phoebe and someone that she and Mom can train to be my third (and probably last) Service Dog. I was so excited for her to have a sibling more than 5 years ago when my doctors and even her vet, told us it was time to start training another dog - then came the blackouts/fugue states/whatever the heck they are . . . and I was busy trying to stay out of ER/hospital from falls and my Brave Girl was busy teaching herself how to take care of Mom when she seemed to be walking around asleep and doing crazy things! My therapist could always tell if I'd had a bad night because Phoebe's eyes would be so blood shot from not getting enough sleep! She has truly given me her entire life and there is nothing I would not do for her. Besides the vets telling us that we needed to put off bringing another dog in while Phoebe heals from the surgeries, there is also my concern about money and providing the best food and care for 2 rather large dogs. I believe if we try to heal her without the surgeries and we're very careful about who we choose to join the household, we can bring in a sibling who will help Mom keep Phoebe resting and quiet and relieve her loneliness from being restricted through the healing period. At this stage, I find the thought of anesthesia (at least twice) and the stress of recovery to be very scary, more risks that I'd prefer to avoid . . .

I'm the manliest man out there but the thought of my dog being put down always brings a tear to my eye

just like my little yoda, rest in peace abby 🐶❤️

beautiful dog, sorry for your loss. X

R.I.P Abby

Beautiful girl
