Today, I lost my best and most faithful friend
In early afternoon, he was busy searching - not Easter eggs, but dummies. He loved to work, and his eyes flashing with joy prove that:
Ten minutes later he broke his arm, and computer tomography in the vet clinic revealed that bone cancer had completely destroyed his bone substance in that place. Our hearts broke, when we decided not to awake Chagall from anesthesia.
For more than thirteen years, Chagall was our comrade, friend, fearless company and vivid helper of people in need.
Thank you for the time you spent with us!
Marcus

Dogs are special creatures. Time will mend your soul, but enjoy the memories. M4
Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry Marcus.
He lived a full life, and he passes on the day of the Resurrection. God Bless him, and you my Friend.

The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind. Theodourus Gaza
I was thinking of Chagall when I read your Heuer Monza review
Marcus, When I read your Monza review and commented on the colour match with your rescue uniform, I was thinking of Chagall. Some of us were there when you first posted puppy pictures 13 years ago on ThePuristS . com Our deepest condolences, MTF and the c...
So sorry to hear! :(
Sounds like he had a great and full life and will be remembered! Be well, Brandon
I will always believe...
...that on the whole, dogs are better than people. They never let you down and will always love you no matter what. My condolences...m
I am sorry
I am sorry to read about the sad news delivered this morning. My condolences.
Such a sad day
please remember all the fantastic moments you had together. Warmest regards, Dirk
My deepest condolence
I went through this five months ago. It was my worst time in my life.
Is he
a Belgian Shepherd, a Malinois? He looks similar to one my father had, decades ago. So your story reminds me of him.
My heart goes out to you, Marcus..
My condolences and support during these trying times. RIP and farewell, Chagall, Respectfully, Alejandro
I am so truly sorry. Loosing a beautiful friend like that.
it is heartbreaking. Having lost a dog to cancer, it’s a tough decision to have to decide to let them go. But a necessary one.
So sorry for your loss Marcus...
Having gone through the same last year I can imagine the sadness and the sorrow. He‘s led a happy and fulfilled life with you and that’s important to remember. Sincere condolences!
I know how you feel
I was caressing him, while the vet was letting him go. He told us to cry, not to pretend to be strong. We did so. Now he's in the dog's heaven, because i've been a terrible master and he deserved a reward made of mountains of bones (his passion)
My deepest condolencies and sympathy
They are members of our families, so often the centre of all our lives. I have read that they don't view death as we do, but in an objective manner, part of the life cycle. I can see from your pics that he was deeply loved and joyously happy. What more ca...
I could cry when I read this sad news!
I think you made a wise decision - the life of your dog and yours never would be the same. But it must be an incredible hard decision! My condolences! Truly yours, Adam
That is sad news, Marcus
you clearly gave him a wonderful home and I trust the fond memories will keep you strong at this time. Condolences to you and your family. Giles
So sad to head that!
Only three month ago we had the pleasure to meet Marcus, his wife and Chagall during a rescue drill in the Austrian mountains. It was amazing to see how these dogs were able to trail the trace of a person through very adverse conditions. (Unfortunately I ...
Sinceremost condolences. May he rest in peace. [nt]
Having a doggie myself I know how it feels.
I am so so sorry my friend.....
I nearly lost my little puppy girl last month, i totally understand how heart breaking it is for you right now, God bless you doggie's beautiful soul.
My condolences
I had a dog like this over 30 years ago, a Belgian shepherd, the smartest dog I've ever had. I feel your pain...
Chagall
Dear Marcus, soory for your loss, Cherish the memories and good times that you and your family shared with Chagall! Rafael
Dear friends, thank you so much ...
... for your compassionate words! Fourteen years ago, after my Collie "Shannon" had died, I expressed my feelings in a post at the PuristS. The reaction and sympathies I received where so overwhelming that it really helped me. Now again. My wife looked at...
Hi Marcus,
I also lost a pet recently to cancer so I can imagine your pain. You did the right thing and best thing for her and hopefully time will heal the wound in your family's hearts. regards
I am so sorry for your loss…
I am sure that you made the right decision and did not allow him to suffer. It’s not easy loosing your best friend and only time will ease the sense of loss.
