R.I.P. little Dollar
For those that remember my images of Dollar well this will be the last one. Dollar was chewing a Rawhide bone which was highly approved by his Vet but the bone got stucked in his throat and he choked on it. Dollar was only 16 weeks young and one of the cutest little fun Puppy that I have met. Dollar was 8 weeks young in this photo.
I am so sad for this little guy and of course for his owners, my friends Christine and Brandon who found him when they came home.

Susanne Correa replied
Thank you ellcot, I can’t believe it myself
Marjorie Wallace
How tragic! I hope the owners get the word out about what happened to their little darling puppy. More people need to know!
Susanne Correa replied
You are so right Marjorie, this is not the first time this happened and and it is still found on the shelf

Meg Hart
Ohh…I am heartbroken for this little sweetheart…(Never leave a puppy alone with these things – as Dollar’s owners tragically found out, they are not safe..!...Even adult dogs can have trouble with them,)...Beautiful memento of this baby Susanne.
Susanne Correa replied
So am I justlooking, I am so sad, you are right never leave them alone with a bone. Yes I know that this is not the first time and it should be stopped!
Josie Eldred
That’s absolutely heartbreaking :( RIP Dollar. Poor little guy.
Susanne Correa replied
Thank you so much Josie, I feel the same way!
lightsmith
That’s such a shame. No matter how careful we are, there’s always something that can happen. At least they have some wonderful memories of Dollar – and some beautiful photographs, thanks to you.
Susanne Correa replied
Thank you so much lightsmith, yes something can always happen and I guess we can not always be there to help.
Aileen David
oh, that brought tears to my eyes :( please extend my condolences to the owners and for yourself as well. Your love of animals & your subjects shine through your images and I know you’re torn up over his death.
Nevertheless, it is a beautiful portrait of Dollar, one that will be cherished.
Susanne Correa replied
Same here Aileen, I sure will let them know since they are friends of mine, this is truly appreciated. Yes I love animals very much, thank you so much for this great compliment

Linda Costello...
Oh, I’m sooo very sorry. This is so heartbreaking. I had the very same thing happen with a Maltese pup and one of those thin chewbones. He was just the most precious little guy. I’m so sorry.
Susanne Correa replied
OMG, I am so sorry that you lost your baby also, this is so sad and those rawhide should be taken of the market since they are so dangerous.
Cheri Perry
He is soooo cute. I am so sorry to hear this news. That stuff needs to be taken off the market. I’m surprised PetSmart and Petco sell this stuff.
Susanne Correa replied
There are several here that had bad experience or death because of the rawhide so yes you are so right Cheri, this is just horrible.
Laurie Search
Oh my gosh….I am so sad to hear this….It’s made me cry….I am so sorry for that sweet little baby and for his poor parents…. What a beautiful last image of him.

Thank you very much Laurie, yes this is a very sad thing and it happened to so many others, how sad. I am glad you like little Dollar.
micklyn
Aww, poor baby! this is just such a fantastic capture, and hopefully a wonderful keepsake…
Susanne Correa replied
Thank you very much micklyn, I will get a little collection together for my friends and hopefully they wont be upset about it.
micmac
Poor little fellow,beautiful portrait.
Susanne Correa replied
Thank you very much micmac, yes it was a sad day!
Diane Swarts
this just breaks my heart! to think my little puppies eat rawhide all the time, I have heard warnings about it before, but never paid to much mind to it, I will have to rethink this.
Susanne Correa replied
I give mine rawhide too but only the Dingo Brand, but from now on only when I am home. If you scroll 6 comments up to Linda she has lost her Puppy also to Rawhide and if you read Mistis comment below she has had a bad experience also but she was at home.
Squealia
Oh how sad
Susanne Correa replied
Yes it was a very sad day!
Misti Hymas
Well that stinks! I do give my dogs rawhide but I will not give it to them unattended. I have seriously had a dream that one of my dogs choked on one. The dream sucked but taught me a lesson. I only give them small chews for this very reason. Im so sorry to the owners!! I can’t even imagine the pain they feel! BTW, georgeous portrait!
Susanne Correa replied
oh wow a dream, that should tell you something and like you say not leave them unattended. Thanks so much for stopping by Misti!
Misti Hymas
Susanne Correa replied
Oh how nice of you Misti, Dollar needs a few features so people will read about the Killer Rawhide, thank you so very much and as always I am very honored to be featured in your fantastic group!
