There are some dogs who leave paw prints on your heart that can never be replaced. Tanner was definitely one of those dogs for us all. His passing left an emptiness that words simply cannot explain, and we will always miss him, love him, and be grateful for every moment we had with him.
Sometimes life has a way of reminding us that love doesn’t have to end—it simply grows.
As some of you know, Dr. Allen has been in the process of getting Tanner’s biological half-brother. Today, we are excited to introduce you to Fender!
Fender comes from the same bloodline as our beloved Tanner. While he could never replace Tanner—and we would never want him to—Fender gives us a new chapter, creating a new bond and a way to make new memories while still remaining connected to Tanner.
We like to think Tanner is looking down on us, giving Fender a little guidance and saying, “Take care of them. They’re your family now.”
We are excited to introduce Fender to our dental family and to watch him grow. We are thrilled to have you as part of this journey ahead, and we know he has some big paw prints to fill! We also know he has a story of his own to write.
Tanner will always be our boy—forever loved and never forgotten. With grateful hearts, we are ready to open our arms and hearts to Fender and see where this chapter takes us.
