In Memory of Brutus (Bru Bru)

March 2003-September 7, 2006
Brutus you will forever be in our hearts
We miss you so much!
On September 7, 2006 we lost our beloved Brutus. I recently sent Bru to Georgia to be with me while I was down for vacation, bru loves my parents and my parents adore bru. Bru loved being down there he had 2 acres to run on and my parents spoiled him rotten. Last Thursday my mom, Jonah jr, Brutus and my parents 2 dogs went to the mailbox together. Brutus and chester my parents dog were not on a leash they were running together. Well my mom got to the mailbox picked got the mail, at that time Jonah jr slipped out of my mothers hands and crossed the street. My mother immediately chased after him and caught him as they were fixing to cross the street my mother heard a motorcycle, she decided to stay put until the motorcycle passed. When the motorcycle came upon them brutus came out from behind them barking at the motorcycle, he was standing still on the road about 4 feet from my mom and my son. The motorcycle going close to 70 mph ran over brutus , the motorcycle snapped brutus neck immediately he was gone at the moment of impact. He did not suffer thank the Lord. The driver on the other hand is suffering very much he slid on his bike 85 feet after hitting brutus and has several broken bones and abrasions He even told the police he meant to hit Brutus but was intending to keep going. My heart is completely broken for most people know how attatched I was to my bru bru. He was my first baby and a member of this family. He protected me and my son and was a wonderful best friend. I will miss him and keep his memory forever in my heart.
