Big Boy Duke

2017 – 2026

Big Boy Duke was the most gentle and loving being. His presence was the most beautiful expression of love that I have known.

He walked through life as a stong and loving anchor throughout all of his days.

He is loved and remembered and will live in our hearts forever.

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.

Leave Your Remembrance
Duke and I shared many adventures, I am very blessed that he was apart of my life.
One of Gods greatest gifts ever made, he will always be missed
He was that special spot in everyone’s hearts
And now God has made room in heaven for a big ol dog where he can live in eternal peace
I love you Duke
I will see you on the other side
Rest in peace
