"When we thought he would be afraid of the older dogs we had, but instead ran into the living room and belly flopd’ on them.He patrolled the pool.
He always tore up a plant when a stranger came into the backyard to let them know – ‘I’m crazy’ - and don’t come closer.He got the best training and retained most of it-I’d call him a crisis dog.
Whenever there was a crisis, there he was.He put his nose under my arm in the truck…everytime.
He was always with us, and when my world got turned upside down…he sat outside with me looking at the Texas stars until the sky started to shift and he pressed his head against me firmly in a way that let me know he understood.It goes without saying, he was a good boy."My best man.
At the first ‘all in’ when Starrcast did its first convention, I’ll never forget him walking into the Hyatt in Schaumburg and us seeing the lobby overtaken by fans & wrestling shirts from front door to the back.We walked by the lobby bar and they had a special menu posted with ‘Pharaoh’s fries’; but the thing I remember most is how the fans kinda’ parted the sea for him as he walked through…they snapped selfies and chanted his name like he was making an entrance on tv or something ha.
He’d go on to do multiple charity meet/greets for some of the best shelters in the country.He was a Chewy’ champion.
