This is Zak...short for Zakennayo which is Japanese for "don't fuck with me."
Zak was found in 2001 in a downtown city dumpster diving; his testicles kicked up inside him and he was so thin that his body started eating off its muscle. Zak was caught up in the dog fighting ring but managed to get loose and runaway...who knows how many days he was on the run - we think that he fed on a few cats as that his is one and only ticket to instant aggression.
My wife and I rescued Zak when we got a call from a friend of ours that took him. He was passed off to three people in two days as the former owners were looking for him. Our friends called me and we took Zak home that day. A trip to the vet found out that we had to dig wood splinters out of his hip from the beatings he used to go through and he had to get castrated because of his testicle lodged up inside him. Zak was doctored up, put on a special diet to let his stomach adjust to actually having food and protein and he came home to a quiet and calm home where he had a bed and couch to lounge around in quiet. There was a female boxer waiting on him as well and surprisingly, this alpha female immediately took to him....Zak must have played on her maternal side - a side that many of us never thought existed.
Zak nurtured to health and it was as if he never started life out so ugly. This dog then went on to circle the globe. He went from Washington to Tokyo, Japan where he lived for four years. Then Zak flew to Seattle, drove to St. Louis and got on a plane to London where he lived in England for the next several years. Then Zak got another plane in London and went directly to Tokyo once more and traveled up 12 hours to the north. Zak literally did a full circle of the globe. And this is what the dog that started his life off in violence ended up being like:
Zak is the tough looking one on the left:
We had to put this champion to sleep today. His body gave out on him. His legs giving out and he had cysts in his belly to where he couldn't eat anymore and he was losing weight. His last act was drinking a few slurps of water and he threw it up with blood. We did what had to be done.
Zak was a champion. He started this life with nothing but coldness and hatred around him but he was warm and loving. He loved his family and he took car of us. I want others who have never seen Zak know who he was and raise their glass today and say...to Zak!
