I FIRST MET PETEY ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIS OWNER AND MY SOON TO BE BEST FRIEND, MARIE.  I HAD ACTUALLY BEEN AFRAID OF ALL DOGS DUE TO WITNESSING A NASTY DOG FIGHT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.  I AM A HUGE ANIMAL LOVER BUT COULD NOT SHAKE THE NATURAL FEAR OF DOGS! WELL, THANX TO PETEY, ALONG WITH ANOTHER GREAT DOG NAMED BO, THAT ALL CHANGED.  I CLEARLY REMEMBER THE 1ST TIME VISITING W/MARIE AND ASKING HER TO LOCK PETEY IN THE OTHER ROOM BECAUSE I WAS SCARED.  SHE ACTUALLY LAUGHED AT ME!!  "YOU'RE WHAT?" "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS--AFRAID OF PETEY?"  SHE COULDN'T OF BEEN MORE RIGHT BECAUSE PETEY WAS THE SWEETEST, CUTEST, FRIENDLIEST, CUDDLIEST DOG IN THE WORLD! IT STILL TOOK ME A LITTLE TIME TO GET COMFORTABLE BUT PETEY MADE IT REAL EASY BECAUSE HE WAS SO LOVEABLE!!  TO THIS DAY WE LAUGH AT THE FACT THAT I USED TO BE SCARED OF THE MOST HANDSOME DOG AT THE BEACH!!  PETEY WAS SUCH A GREAT DOG IN SO MANY WAYS.  I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DOG THAT MADE ME FEEL SO SAFE AND LOVED!!  EVERYONE THAT HAS EVER MET PETEY, LOVED PETEY!!  HE WILL BE VERY MISSED BY SO MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MARIE!!  SO AS YOU CAN SEE, PETEY WAS THE RADEST DOG IN SAN DIEGO!!!!
