I met Bruce in passing at Lucky Dog. You could see the pride and joy in his face whenever he was with Lacey. They were surely connected. To the family, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Trust that Bruce will be forever watching over your family.

I was in agility classes with Bruce and I was never more entertained then when I would watch him run Lacey. They had a very comical relationship that seemed more like a bickering couple then dog and handler. He had so much kindness and patience with her stubborn streak. I will miss him as will so many.

I always liked Bruce from the day I met Him. He would call me out of the blue and ask how things were going.
I will miss those calls. Rest in peace.
