OZ-New York to Hawaii

"Shelby's Story" is below in the "Description"

Hello From New York!

OZ The Travel Bug is being sent out into the world to celebrate the life and  memory of my 14 year old Chihuahua, Shelby. 

OZ's mission is to have his picture taken with YOUR dog. Maybe they could even go geocaching together.

If your best friend has moved on to Rainbow Bridge, as my Shelby has, I would be honored if you put a photo of your dog on this page.

By December 31, 2015 there will be 200 of my OZ travel bugs spread out all over the world. Each travel bug will be sent to a different country or to a different state in North America. The name at the top of this page will tell you where this particular travel bug would like to be.

To put it simply, OZ's mission is to visit homes in different countries and in every state of the union where the word "Dog" means the same in every language. Love-Loyalty-Friend.

It is my hope that people all across the globe will read "Shelby's Story" and be inspired to share their own story about their best friend. Perhaps through stories and photos we will see that we are not all that different from one another.

Dogs come in all shapes, sizes and colors, just like us. Dogs have all kinds of different jobs to do whether it be guarding flocks or cuddling on a couch with its favorite person; all dogs have a purpose, just like us. Dogs come from every walk of life and from every country in the world, just like us. Dogs feel pain, loneliness, joy and love, just like us. Wouldn't it be great if we all took our love for the dog and spread it out worldwide to each other? If one small dog who asked for nothing but gave everything can reach out and touch even one life across the oceans imagine what we as human beings could do if only we would try

Thank you for helping OZ on his journey to share Shelby's Story and may Peace, Love and the Heart of a Good Dog help you on your journey.

Shelby's Story

Shelby and I were together for all but the first 6 weeks of her life. She was very sick and was about to be put to sleep when I stole her away. I rescued Shelby that day but for the next 14 years Shelby rescued me. After an accident I was forced to stay in bed for almost a year and Shelby never left me for a moment. She refused to go play outside or to eat anywhere but in my room on my bed. The only time she would leave me was to go do her" business". Then she would run right back and run to my bedroom and cry until someone put her back on my bed.
