Scotty was truly a loyal companion. He was a guard dog, a best friend, a playmate, and comedian all in one. Even the times when you would be mad at him for doing something bad he would still find a way so that you wouldn't be mad at him for to long. I remember one time when he was a puppy that he chewed on my mom's couch leg. He knew that he did a bad thing and whimpered and hid but when we all sat on the couch he climbed right up and sat in our laps. We couldn't be mad at him any longer. He was truly my dad's best friend but the whole family loved him. He loved to chase squirels in the backyard and play ball. He was a really sweet dog. But as with old age came problems such as arthritis in his legs and balding hair. During the last couple of days his arthritis got worse where he couldn't get up anymore. It was heartbreaking. We know now that he is happy and my grandpa's are walking him right now in heaven. We miss him very much and know that he will always be apart of our family.
