Peter's dog Hans and my dog Hokahe were friends. I really only know Peter because of our dogs in Switzerland. The last I contacted Peter was an email over Hokahe's passing when I learned Hans had passed as well. Great souls are found again by their dogs. I picture those two back together on another adventure.
