This is a story about a loving dog that had lived to the age of 15 yrs old. He was very gentle and had been through everything with the families children. The children had known Rocky since birth. When Rocky died the oldest child was 10 yrs and the youngest was 8 yrs almost to be 9. The youngest wished Rocky would live till she turned 10 yrs. Or at least till Rocky turned 16, which he was in November. See how much of a wonderful life Rocky had until it was over....
