  8. Matt we learn more about you everyday and we will always remember you. My memory will be tied to you through your kindness and dedication rescuing and helping many dogs and cats.

    A note for you; right now we have 3 rescued dogs … yes I know what you are thinking. Some of our dogs and one cat have passed away to heaven, so do me a favor and watch out for them. Thanks buddy and thank you for your kindness and dedication again.!

    I will also be finding out more about your efforts and adventures to rescue which I am sure will bring great joy to your parents and all of us. Until we meet again.

  9. I used to see Matt and his beautiful dog on the waling trail where we always had short conversations. I was happy I got to know him. We would laugh about this gentleman Bill who at the time had two dogs and he never controlled them. They would jump all over people as they passed and Matt and I hated it.
