<p class=MsoNormal>I just received an email from Nancy, Mom to the BBC
Gang. The BBC Gang’s Dad person, Gary, passed away today.
Gary had not been well for some time and recently had emergency surgery. Nancy
says that in the six years Gary had been sick, the dogs gave him great
comfort. We are sure that he was met at the Bridge by a whole lot of
hounds that he and Nancy have helped and loved through the years, including Red
Bay Lexington (Dash). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Gary’s moral support and “keeping of the dogs”
allowed Nancy to help with so many rescues for OBR and the many fosters that
lived with them. Our prayers are with Nancy at this difficult time and healing
drool is being slung in her direction. May her beloved dogs give her
comfort in the difficult days ahead. <o:p></o:p></p>
