Rainbow Bridge: Wolfgang

 

Wolfgang
Loved by PJ Rohr and Peter Dominowski of Springfield, Oregon
June 27, 2012 – March 3, 2024

 
We mourn the loss of our beloved family member Wolfgang.
He was fine when we departed for Africa in mid-February, but began showing signs of a severe illness on the day of our return. His symptoms did not subside so he spent the last two days of his amazing life in an animal hospital, where he was treated and tested until it was determined that his lymphoma would not allow any further quality time.
 
Wolfgang had two lives; for his first four years, he was a racing greyhound in Arkansas (racing name Ahridgeuhnull). He came in first place 20 of his 102 races and finished second, third, & fourth another 27 times, the most successful of his litter-mates. When he was retired at four and a half, I adopted him for his second life, that of a family member. I lovingly remember the day I met him on June 3, 2017: he was brought to my house -- I opened the door and there he was, staring up at me with those big brown eyes, and my heart melted. We had an incredibly strong bond; however, I think Wolfgang rescued me more than I rescued him. Adopting him was one of the best decisions I ever made – he was there for me through thick and thin.
 
Wolfgang was a unique dog - very calm; he rarely barked, never licked or jumped up. He showed affection by leaning against you, or by offering his paw to be held. He was loved by everyone he met. We even named our chamber trio after him!
 
Peter and I loved him dearly and were with him at the end. He was such an incredible being that he deserves an obituary; this is a modest attempt to put into a few words a summation of his life, and a recognition of all the good he did and love he spread in this world.
