Kodiak "Kody" Thomas Deem (2/24/1997 - 4/21/2010)

Just after midnight this last Wednesday, God took Kody home. He died peacefully in his sleep. Kody was a native Alaskan and lifelong outdoor enthusiast. A trained medical and therapy service dog, Kody spent his life giving love, healing and companionship to everyone w...ho connected with him. He spent his last days at his favorite off-leash beach in Carmel, California, taking in the sea air--completely happy and content. On the trip home, he enjoyed a double cheeseburger. That night, he begged for and ate an entire rawhide before curling up on his bed. An hour later, his precious heart gave out, and he was gone. He is survived by two canine siblings, Lillian (5), Murphy (1), and his parents, Adam and Celeste. He is their firstborn, and will never, ever be replaced. He is deeply missed and forever loved.
"Into paradise may the angels lead you."
It was Kody's example that I thank for giving me the compassion to save Li'l Smokey. Here I am giving him the credit in October of 2008:
