I had Toki since she was born and she had always been an adventurous and energetic pup. She was the first out of her litter to crawl into my room and separate from her mother at just 4 weeks old. I always knew of her as a brave girl but the toll this disease put her through truly proved it.

Being the only girl in her litter, she was always referred to as 'princess' due to her sassy but cute attitude. She was always happy and loved to play all the time. We went on plenty of hikes, road trips and adventures together which made us extremely bonded. I still remember the way she mastered her puppy eyed look and how she gives me kisses every morning when I wake up. She loved to eat and try new foods. One of the last new foods she tried and liked was seaweed. Toki had a bubbly and optimistic personality that's hard to describe in words. She was always up for everything.

One day I heard her coughing very badly in the middle of the night. We soon found out she had MVD which took us by surprise because she was always so healthy without any telltale signs during her routine checkups. Her disease came on suddenly and she deteriorated rapidly. Despite taking her medications and me cooking her a healthy diet, nothing was working. When I came across this page I was thankful to look into the resources of potentially getting mitral valve surgery in Japan. However, Toki's condition turned grave just 2 months after her MVD diagnosis and crossed the rainbow bridge.

As painful as it was, I'm glad to have spent almost 10 years with my sweet girl. It's been extremely hard to lose her so suddenly but I'm glad she's no longer suffering. From my college days to my adult life, she's been by my side all these years. I know she's enjoying doggy heaven with all of her favorite treats and meeting new friends.

We love you Toki. Until we meet again.
