I lost my soul dog last year, her name was Sobe.

She was a Visla / Rottweiler mix. I rescued her the day after I got back from an Iraq deployment in Iraq in 2009. I grew up and out of foster care and she was my first family member. I came in contact with her when I was coming back from a restaurant with my friends and I saw an adoption fair going on at Petco and I asked what dog are you struggling to find a future home. They walked me back to an area in Petco where she was in a crate. I asked to take her on a walk in the immediate vicinity. I took about two steps and said, I will take her. They asked if I was sure and I said yes. I then spent the rest of my life till last August with her. She loved hiking, car rides and was a big beggar. She loved me. She filled that void that I desperately needed filled as kid who grew out of foster care and was never adopted. Since the day she died, the pain that I feel has never ceased but I am thankful for everything she gave me. Here Reddit, here is Sobe. I hope you enjoy the few photos and I hope she is with everyone else’s soul pets enjoying themselves. Thank you everyone for the slight trauma dump.
