Bacher Oviedo, Pongo. Age 6 months. La Tajeada, Honduras. Beloved puppy, grandpuppy, and friend. Passed on after battling an infection. Born February 2011 to King and Colita. Grandpup to many.
Pongo enjoyed chewing table legs, nipping ankles, chasing chickens and eating cheese, doggy treats, and the occasional churro. He often woke up with the sun to greet his Honduran grandpa and walk with him to the fields. He loved nothing more than greeting his human mom in the morning and cuddling with her.
We will remember Pongo as a smart doggy that learned quickly. He had already mastered sit and lay down. He was just learning to enjoy having his coat brushed and his ears cleaned when he passed away.
Pongo leaves behind a large Honduran and American family who will always remember the time he got his little puppy head stuck in a plastic cup.
Our beloved puppy was buried behind his childhood home in a plot nestled between banana trees and overlooking a creek.
Thanks Kari for sharing this and all the pictures. I wish I could have met him and know we would have been great pals, as well. Love you and am still sad about your loss.
