Today we said good bye to a true friend. Winston was a mensch, an amazing soul who knew when you needed him close and when to give you your space. For more than 12 years he was a loyal and steadfast companion. He was a silly dog who barked at animals running across the TV screen, battled the vacuum cleaner for supremacy and gave you a crooked tooth smile just when you needed it most. He will be missed every day in every way. †He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.â€
