To my Knuckles- It’s been just over a year since we lost you and I haven’t had the heart to write about it until now.

I always grew up with dogs but Knuckles was the first dog that was MY dog. I went to a shelter and knew immediately we’d be best friends. He rolled over, did his little shuffle and let me rub his belly.

I took him everywhere I could, even though he hated most places we went (especially camping). He once broke my coffee table while we were playing. He once completely destroyed my trailer while I was shooting a movie. I loved that dog anyway.

I always imagined him playing with my kids someday. But he didn’t even know Wilder was here for the first six months. But when he discovered we had a son, he wouldn’t leave his side. He wanted to be as close as possible to that boy. He was too old to play with Wilder by then, but in a way, I got what I imagined.

Over the years, he developed a heart condition and would faint and fall over. But that boy was a tank. His cardiologist had never seen a dog of his age with this condition. It usually kills them much younger. But Knuckles powered on for two more years. He was stubborn like that.

Last year, I left to shoot a movie. I gave him a special goodbye. And I’m glad I did… because he didn’t make it until I got back. One of my deepest regrets is that I wasn’t there at the end to comfort him. But I know I gave him the best life I could while he was here, even if I couldn’t hold his paw while he left.

He went from an “only dog” in a shelter in the desert and went on to have a family He gained a mom. He gained two sisters and our little son. We gave him everything we could and in return, he gave us all the love we could want.

Knuckles, you were the goodest boy I’ve ever known and I’d do it all over again if I could. I miss you. I love you. Rest easy.
