Goodbye, Dear Jake
Jake the Rescue Dog has died
NEW YORK – A black Labrador that burrowed through smoking debris after Sept. 11 and flooded rubble after Hurricane Katrina in search of survivors has died of cancer.
Owner Mary Flood had 12-year-old Jake put to sleep Wednesday after a last stroll through the fields and a dip in the creek near their home in Oakley, Utah. Flood said Jake had been in pain, shaking with a 105-degree fever as he lay on the lawn.
Thanks, you schweetie.
Oh, what a schweet, brave wabbie, with a handsome silver chinnie. Good boy, Jake.
