for argos

there was an incident a couple posts down about a computer theft from the Yellow Bike Shop on 51st, which ended tragically in the death of Argos.

He was the beloved friend and family member of 2 of the volunteers working there that evening. Argos chased after the kids that took the laptop and ran out onto 51st where he was hit by a car. The car, nor the kids, stopped.

I emailed the owners, Russell and Dalea, and asked if they would send me some photos of Argos. What a happy dog huh? They wrote lovingly of him - he was part of their family. he went places with them, he rode in a cart behind their bikes. many of us with pets know this feeling well. part of the family.

i'm sorry for their loss. this seems beyond insignificant to say. i belong to the peoples where dogs are their best friends, their running and biking partner, therapy, goofballs, cuddle buddies, huge responsibilities and capable of giving and receiving more love than you can imagine. in Russell and Dalea's email they talked about all the good times they had with him and how fortunate they were to have him in their lives. he was this kind of dog to them.

argos you are missed and loved and remembered.
