This got me all choked up. What a wonderful dog. We had a german shepherd/black lab mix named Angel. She passed away in Dec of 2016 at almost 17 years of age. Thank you for sharing with us. You truly had an angel on earth with her.

Oh wow, how amazing to have her for so long! Do you have any photos of her you wouldn't mind sharing?
Sure! We adopted her from the Humane Society when she was 3-4 years old. She was my autistic son's constant companion. Here is a photo of her when my youngest was a baby (10 years ago) and a few from her last year.
She's a beautiful girl! Love that glossy fur! And I'm all Awwww over her white muzzle <3 The pic of her with your youngest is adorable because they look so comfy sharing the quilt, she doesn't even mind that a baby is holding her leg :) Thank you!
The kids used her as a step-stool to reach the couch when they were of "cruising" age. She only growled at one of them once, and that was because the kid was trying to take her rawhide away. She was reprimanded for growling at the baby and she never did it again. She was one of those who understood our language. You could talk to her and she would listen and understand.
"She was one of those who understood our language" ah yes, those are the most special dogs <3 It's so sweet to think that your kids' baby memories are going to be intertwined with memories of her!
