Amy Trotter Turner believes that her little french bulldog, Mahalo, has fulfilled his mission. He provided her with the love and comfort she needed since since her other frenchie, the sweet Aloha, passed in August 2019. Every morning he greeted her with love and kisses as she helped him with all his special needs, such as express his bladder, and gave him toys and love to greet each new day. He explored the neighborhood in his cart, custom made for dogs whose back legs are disabled due to injuries or health issues. She says that he “wrestled all the stuffed sea creatures that dared invade his space.” But age and pneumonia caught up with his 13 year old body, and the kind decision was made to let him run free. His name was Mahalo: “Thank you” in Hawaiian. “He saved me from despair and I thanked him every day for his love.”

Mahalo received a second chance and loving support during his golden years as a foster through FBRN – the French Bulldog rescue Network. To learn more about the good work they do, or if you are interested in adopting a frenchie, visit www.frenchbulldogrescue.org for more information.
