Brandon was a beautiful golden lab/collie mix. He was born in Riverside, Ca and resided there until May, 2001, when his family relocated to Visalia,CA.  He quickly made friends in his new town, and especially enjoyed participating in, and later observing, agility with the Qwik Paws Dog Agility Team. His gentle spirit and loving manner brought joy to all who met him. Brandon was a clear and faithful image of God's persevering love, devotion and affection.  He always sought to please the people in his world.  He was a puppy for all seasons who loved the beach in summer, snow in the winter, hiking in the mountains, and all of nature.  He expected to be included in all family activities and was known as a party dog who especially loved birthdays and Christmas.  He always had a smile on his face and liked to roll on his back to express his happiness. Brandon loved to go for long walks and bike runs.  When he had difficulty walking in his last year, his mom pulled him in a wagon.  In November he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his brain stem.  His mom’s prayer that he would be here to attend her Christmas party on December 6 was answered.  He died two days later in her arms. His mom, Debbie Beringer, and his kitty brother, Zappa, were left behind.  

 

Baby Boy, you were told every day of your life how much you were loved.  It was an honor to have you for my puppy. You brought joy to my heart and peace to my soul. Always remember how much I love you. I am getting through this by picturing you playing ball with Jesus and talking about me. I can't wait to see you in heaven.



I am loving you and loving you.

Mom
