Thank you all for your kind words and sweet messages to both myself and Gallop. It means so much and they are all so comforting to read during this time.
Gallop is galloping around fields in doggy heaven, getting all the belly rubs & love & attention as he should. Pain free living like a puppy 💜 He taught me & I taught my family so very much about guide dogs & he left his paw prints across the 🌎 & exceeded his expectations & his duty :) He will Dog nap in peace, we're all certain 💜 Sending my love. Hopefully some artists will draw him in his memory.
thank you to both you and Gallop for all the fun memories thank you for sharing this Molly im so happy you had him for so long we all going to miss him All the love ❤❤❤❤
I donated to the Mira Foundation today. I only mention it because I could not say why on their format. I made this donation in memory of a dog named Gallop whose bravery, loyalty, intelligence and love was as real as any creature's could be. Thank you Molly and Gallop for sharing so much with so many of us.
@MollyBurkeOfficial he had a happy, fulfilling life with you and you did everything to make him comfortable till the very end. He couldn't have a better mom. I hope you'll feel better soon and just be able to enjoy good memories
I just imagine Gypsy greeting Gallop at the rainbow bridge with “How’s our girl?” And Gallop responding with “She’s doing great! She’s sad right now but she has a great work pup to take care of her and I love her and she gave me so much cheese!” May he run and nap and eat all the heavenly treats he deserves. ❤❤❤
In his favourite safe place, with his favourite person, snuggled into your lap and drifted off to sleep. Imagine how peaceful and happy his thoughts were? That he knew he had guided you through even his last journey, made sure you were settled with Elton and is waiting to guide you across the rainbow bridge ❤
"Gallop guided me through the years where my dreams came true" - Molly Galloper Gooseman how we will miss you so much. Molly, Naimh, and Papa Burke the love and kindness you showed Gallop was so clear and he will be fondly remembered. ❤🐾
33:15 “In his final moments I told him that he has to come back for me, so we can do it all again.” broke my heart💔 i’m so sorry Molly, rest easy Gallop..you were amazing❤️
I don’t cry easily, but during the cheese feast in the goodbye I lost it. Thank you Gallop, for all the wonderful memories. And thank you Molly, for sharing him with the world. He was a gift to us all and is already missed
Gallop is the reason I got my guide dog, Marigold. She’s from the Guide Dog Foundation in New York, and you and Gallop inspired me to apply. I was still only 15 when they accepted me, even though you technically have to be 16 to receive a dog from them in most cases. The pandemic delayed…everything; so I didn’t get Marigold until 18, but I still feel I owe Gallop for her. Thank you for sharing him with me and us
As a veterinarian, I can tell you that all of the veterinary staff feel the loss of each and every one of our patients deeply. We often try not to break down in the room with owners, as we don't want to make it about us, but it's common for us to cry behind the scenes. Sometimes we can't hide it though and the tears flow in the room. Sometimes we have to wall off the emotions and tears to continue on with our day helping other animals. I'm so sorry Gallop reached the end of his life; I can only imagine how much harder it is losing a service animal who gave so much to you. ❤ And thank you so much for making that last video with Gallop to allow all of us to say our goodbyes. He really did leave an impact on so many of us
As someone who had to put down my furry one, I know how true this is and I thank you all for it. When we had to put him down, I could see it in all the staff there that they were sad with us, and in a way that made it more comforting.
I have had a vet cry in the room with me while euthanizing my dog, and it was nice to feel like she was in the emotional experience with us. I would’ve been more upset if it seemed like she didn’t care. The empathy from a vet is something I really appreciate as a dog owner.
As a vet tech - I wouldn’t work for a veterinarian who DIDNT get emotional after euthanizing pets. It means that they have empathy and compassion for their patients - euthanasias never get easier, nor should they.
Gallop is by far the most famous guide dog ever and he will forever be loved and never forgotten we loved gallop dearly and still do! He was one of a kind Molly! Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
I can't help but shake the feeling that he knew you would be ok. The news came so soon after your update on Elton and how you'd finally felt settled in with him and like that bond had developed, and that's when he knew he could leave. So sorry for your loss ❤️
This comment made me cry so much, but I believe that's true. He wanted to hang around long enough to make sure that Molly would be okay on this Earth without him. I'm so so sorry for your loss, Molly. We all loved seeing the videos of Gallop and he sure seemed like a very special guy.
My boy Zeus and I made a food donation (and a bag of cheese treats) to our local animal shelter in honor of Gallop when we saw your tiktok. We're so sorry for your loss, Gallop made such a big impact on the world. Sending you love and healing thoughts ❤️
Gallop is the reason my second service dog is a bernese mountain dog. And the reason I ever had hope for independence. Gallop truly embodied the perfect service dog, and the perfect temperament. Dalia is now a part of his legacy.
Isn’t it amazing how the death of a dog you’ve never met breaks your heart? I’m sitting here bawling watching this….. RIP Sweet Gallop boy, we miss you & we love you to bits❤️❤️ Molly we love you too & I send you some virtual hugs from Ireland❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh man, I bawled like a baby. I have never felt so attached to a dog I have never met. Thank you Gallop for all your years of service, and teaching us all about what incredible creatures guide dogs are. Hugs Molly and fam. ❤
You even filming a video prior to him going to heaven for us was so moving to me because you didn’t owe us that. Thank you for sharing your journey, sharing your sweet man, who only has ever lived for you. He will never understand the gift he has been to others, but what he’s done for you-that was the delight of his life. Thank you, and goodbye Gallop. Thank you for taking care of Molly for us and making her not give up after Gypsy. She’s been a blessing to us because of it.
It legit took me until almost October to watch this :(((((((((( we so much love Gallop and Benix and Elton and all the work they do to make you the independent girl you are!
I'm so so very sorry. When my husband's guide aged, he got so very skinny. It was so very hard. Hugs from two very sad guide dog users. It's so hard when they go before us. Don't apologize, this is just so hard 😢 I'm afraid I just can't finish this video, gotta go hug my guide dog and cry for a bit. HUGS!
Gallop (with your help, Molly) taught me as a sighted person what it means to be a guide dog, what kind of work he does, how to treat working dogs as a stranger and as a friend. I was a little sad for myself when he retired and it took me a bit to get used to Elton because as Molly said, this was partially Gallop's channel. But Molly is clearly in gret paws with Elton. Gallop is going to be missed by thousands of people.
This was emotional to me as a veterinary technician. I've definitely cried with the humans behind the pets we've said goodbye too. When my childhood dog passed, she picked up and carried her leash on her final walk, something she hadn't done in years
Gallop was a truly special boy. He waited until you were settled in your relationship with Elton to go as he knew you would be in safe paws with him and that his job here was done
A year later and I finally felt ready to watch this video. It hurts Gallop was such an inspiration for so many people, but he is in peace now. Molly your channel has inspired me myself, I now want to train my miniature American Shepherd for search and rescue. (he’s a puppy) Play on Gallop with all the other animals on the rainbow bridge.
You said when Gypsy died, that someone told you "I cried more for her than when my grandmother died." And I said the same was true for me when I saw the video. And, it's true again. I thought I'd be okay, but within 10 minutes, I was bawling. You gave him the most amazing life, and he passed painlessly, at home, with his most precious loved ones by his side. We should all be so lucky. Fly high sweet boy.
I’m preparing to say goodbye to my 16 year old dog. I got her when I was 10 and she provided so much comfort and stability throughout my childhood. I totally understand how you feel and it’s devastating. Just the thought of never seeing her again brings me to tears.
My dog is also 16 and getting worse. I’ve lived with her all my life, she’s 3 months older than me actually. She’ll be 17 on October 2nd but who can tell if she will make it to then. She’s been my big sister all my life and this video really made me appreciate the time I have with her now. I’m trying to prepare myself for her to go but I know I won’t be ready in the end. Maybe I’ll come back to this if she makes it to her birthday.
I don't know what happens after but I am sure one day will see her again. ❤️ There's no way love that strong can die. I still miss my first dog so much 💔 take all the photos from all the years & print them off into a book. I'm sure you must have do many amazing memories. Wishing you comfort and strength and a gentle hug for your goodest girl ❤️
Can't hold back the tears. Gallop was a great teacher for those who are sighted like myself and don't understand everything 🥰🙏 love that lil pup and I never got to meet him
Gallop and Molly taught me so much about blindness and guide dogs. I will forever be grateful for the awareness that gallop has spread and the love he has shared. Thanks gallop, for taking care of our Molly for so long. We know Molly will continue your legacy and Elton John will keep her safe so she can do so.
Sitting here crying and missing my kitty. He was 17 when I had to put him down. It was all very peaceful, I held and rocked him while he received his shot and he passed in my arms. My vet has this beautiful mourning room where you and your pet go when it is the end. I know he is watching over me and I swear he sent me one of the 3 kitties I have as it acts just like he did!
I don’t think I’ve cried this hard since I said goodbye to my own dog three years ago, it’s truly a pain like no other. Rest easy gallop, the goodest boy ❤
"We built this together," Oh that really made me cry - gosh Gallop is living his best life in heaven, looking down on you and your family Molly. We will miss him forever, but his legacy will live on in all the ways he touched the world, and is cemented in that exact statement...you built this together
I knew I was going to cry but oh man. Losing a dog is so hard, I can not imagine losing a guide dog. He kept you safe for 7 years. He was a good boy, he’ll come back to you just like Gypsy did.❤
'He was more angel than dog.' I could see the peace in Gallop when you were sitting in the room with him. Working in a vet office and having gone through this in my personal life, you can see when a pup is ready. He was ready. He knew you were going to be well taken care of and he knew he didn't need to be worried and was ready to take his forever nap. He'll be waiting for you, Elton John, and your family. Hugging my critters a bit tighter and sending healing vibes to you and your family.
The worst part of owning a pet, no matter how many you have it never gets any easier. I'm not going to pretend I can even understand how much more difficult it must be when that pet was also a lifeline. Thank you for sharing your story, and Gallop with us. He was an absolutely delight every time I got to see him on screen. May you hurt ease, but the love and memories remain forever.
Gypsy, Gallop, Bennix, Elton... All of your dogs have touched all of your viewers in their own ways, undoubtedly they will continue to do so in each of their legacies with you ❤️
@@kyli1204 Bennix (aka Benelux or Ben or Benny) was Molly's dog after Gallop first retired but Bennix had to retire suddenly due to complications that Molly has kept mostly private. She only worked him for about a year before he had to be retired early.
@@suungirl128People on Patreon said it was shared what happened, so what I know is secondhand, but I think it was accurate. Suffice to say, Ben fortunately was able to be a healthy pet for a new owner even though he could not work ad a guide dog.
@@lf206 I honestly can’t remember the specifics on if it was someone who already had cared for him, or if it was a new family… maybe someone else can recall those details…?
Thank you, Molly, for allowing us to say goodbye to Gallop with you. He really did mean so much to many of us and I know it doesn't compare to how much he meant to you in the slightest, but it still really does mean a lot that you thought of us too in his finally days. Thank you.
Gallop lived a life and experienced things many dogs will never get to. He was so lucky to be yours, and I'm sure Gypsy is thrilled to meet him. I'm so sorry Molly ❤️🩹
I honestly feel like he lived a life most people will never get to experience! He did so many incredible things with his time here... he left a huge mark on the world.
My condolences to you.. It’s not easy losing any pet. Especially ones who have served you and impacted your life in such a helpful and loving manner. He was so loved and so very cared for. ❤️
I've had two cats pass now this way, with a home care veterinarian. It is such a peaceful process and so much easier than watching them decline or taking them into a vet clinic. If you can afford it, I recommend this for anyone who has to say goodbye to a pet. It's a blessing to be able to give them a peaceful passing. Gallop was so loved.
I didn’t tell you this on Instagram, because at the time I was still grieving in my own way (as someone who loved and watched Gallop from afar), but that little ball of cheese loving sunshine was the reason I decided to keep fighting for my own right to better care as a disabled/chronically ill person. He showed me what a difference a pup like him could do for someone who needed him, but he also showed me how silly and goofy these pups can be during their time off. I’m finally, after so many years, almost there. I’m getting my prospect soon (owner training the pup with the help of a professional service dog trainer who has his own organization and has worked as a lead trainer in one of the biggest guide dog schools in my country), and if it’s a boy I would love to name him something that reminds me of Gallop :’) I mean, imagine a yellow lab named Cheese?😂😭 Or, if you’d like to name him, I’d be honored, and I’m sure he would be too (If it ends up being a girl, you can still name her if you’d like). Thank you for being so open with us, always, and for trusting us enough to show us your more vulnerable side during this very difficult time. You’re so, so loved and supported, Molly. PS. I just noticed (I think?) that my comment was in the video🥺
I am crying watching this😢 i lost my dog in an accident last year , she was only 4,5 years. I feel this all over watcing this,RIP sweet Gallop. She died in my arms 😢
I love the fact that with euthanasia on our animals, that we can indeed be there in their last minutes with us. I've treasured that also, upsetting though it may be. For my beloved pets, I feel I owe that to them. Thank you so much, Molly, for sharing that with us. This guy wishes you the best from Texas, and yes, I loved the interview that you had with Paul Castle!
Having worked in the veterinary field, I can say that the hardest part of the end is witnessing the pain of the owner(s). You know the animal will be OK, will be out of pain and at peace -- but for the people who love them, the grief is heavy. Sending love to you, Molly, and to Gallop and the whole Burke family.
❤❤❤. Gallop was an amazing companion, I didn’t get to meet gallop but I could feel his energy. I had a traumatic experience with dogs a few years ago that has put me in a spot where I now fear dogs. Gallop’s energy gave me so much hope that one day I will be able to interact with dogs again. ❤❤❤
Sobbing along with you, Molly. Gallop was so lucky to have you as his human. All the love and care you gave him, the exciting job he could do for you. And not to forget the cheese treats. He must have been so proud to literally guide you through life. At the moment you can't be around him physically, but your bond is just stretched, not broken. He's watching and guiding you from heaven.
Molly we will miss Gallop, you shared him with us and we will miss him. Gallop is with Gypsy and they will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge to help guide you home. You shared so much of your pets with us and we will all miss him. Gallop rest easy knowing that Molly has Elton John to guide her now.
please take all the time you need to grieve. gallop was so special and so, so loved, and i'm sure he knew that. we love you, molly, and gallop will be so missed
Gallop is over the rainbow bridge eating huge cheese wheels and guiding and protecting all the dogs who passed to soon just waiting for the day he can run to greet you. Gallop you're heart was huge you will be remembered by so many
I had to stop this 5 times to just bawl. I’m so sorry for your loss and your family’s loss. Gallop was one in a million, and I’m glad he put his head between your legs and your dad’s. I believe that was him saying his goodbye. Thank you Gallop for being an amazing service dog that we got to learn so much from. Molly, you and your family will be in my heart and prayers. May the Lord bring you comfort swiftly. 💜💜💜💜
Molly, I haven’t seen your videos in so long. I’m so sorry. When I think Molly I think Gallop. I was shocked to see this. I’m so proud of you and everything he has done. He was an amazing boy. We all loved him and we know you did too. He’s very very special. You are going to be just fine he’s always with you and sending friends to keep you company.
I'm so sorry Molly, losing a dog is horrendous enough without losing a dog as important as Gallop was to you. I'd like to add my absolute favourite Gallop moment was when you did a video about how he guides you and you asked him to find a chair. And he led you confidently to a chair and as you went to sit in it, you realised there was someone sitting in it and Gallop was like "you asked me for a chair, that's a chair, what more do you want?! ". It'll always make me laugh when I think of that video. He was the Goodest of Boys.
Ughh I had to pause to cry many times. Thanks for sharing Gallop with the world, and for your openness in sharing what happened. He impacted everyone he met, and it’s helps heal and bring closure to listen and cry with you. Love you, Molly. 🐾♥️
Molly, my heart breaks for you. As a pet owner, I understand the incredible pain of losing your best friend, but I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose a dog who served by your side in so many ways. RIP Galloper Gooseman. We’ll all miss you
The hardest part about having dogs is they get to spend their whole life with us but we miss them for all of ours ❤ I'm sure Elton will be a huge comfort to you x x
Molly, you should be extremely proud of your boy Gallop! He did more in his lifetime than most people. That's quite an accomplishment for a dog. RIP Gallop💗🙏
It is so very hard to lose a dog n I know you feel. I lost my family dog earlier in the month of August of this year. May both of our dogs rest in peace up in heaven
My cat is also 17, she is with my mum I’ve had her since I was 12, I’ll be 30 next year! She still climbs trees and does her usual cat things, I forget how old she is I still can’t think of the day she leaves us, I know it could be soon but my heart still tells me she will live forever ❤ I am so sorry for your loss I’m sure you probably felt the same I am dreading the day she goes
Our 14 year old kitty is showing signs of aging and in the back of my mind there is that lingering dread of when we’ll part. It’s never easy to lose pets as they take such a special place in our hearts. The silver lining is that we get opportunities to have different furry friends throughout our own lives.
@@cd2290 Oh, it’s so hard when our cats start showing signs of aging. My wish is for you to have many happy years together. And that’s true, there is that silver lining.
Hey Molly, I work in a German shelter so I’ve comforted more animals through their last moments than I can count and I can tell you: you did everything right with your boy ❤ in my experience if animals are ready to go, putting them to sleep is especially peaceful and without any of the not so nice side effects. Gallop was ready to leave and didn’t suffer any pain except maybe the typical “old man” pains which we’re all gonna feel some day :D He had a fulfilling working life and an amazing retirement all thanks to you and your family! Much love and comfort in the next few weeks from Germany ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gallop was such an incredible dog. He was there for you when you needed him the most, and you 100% returned that favor for him. It takes a lot of courage to see our pets in vulnerable states and it takes a lot to be there when they pass. It's very hard. I'm so sorry. Gallop loved you very much and he's still watching over you now ❤️
I am not one to cry over animals, but I cried during this. Galloo was so much more than juast a dog. I wish everyone Who is grieving over him the best and lots of strenght. Gallop is with gypsy now and probably discussing how they loved being of service to molly
Around 6 years ago, I found your channel. I was struggling with PTSD and no medication was really helping. I also have multiple heart issues. Because of Gallop, I started owner training my dog to respond and alert to PTSD symptoms. Eventually, she started naturally alerting to heart rate and blood pressure changes! She worked for 6 years and is now 12. She had started to finally show she was getting older last year, so she retired. I now have a 1 year old SDiT who is doing well, but I took a loan for professional help this time since I'm an adult now! I am dreading saying goodbye to my girl and hope she has more good years to come (she's a pomeranian, so longer life span), but I know one day we will go through this. I can only imagine what you're going through. I owe it to you and Gallop to learning that a service dog would massively change my life for the better, especially as my heart has worsened. Gallop is and always will be missed. You gave him the best ending, peaceful, safe, and loved. This is a lovely but sad video in his memory!
Losing a pet is so hard. Especially when you and gallop are so connected on so many levels. You guys have each other's hearts. He had the most fabulous life. He was a lucky dog ❤
As a pet parent, I feel your emotions so deeply. If I could hug you through the screen, I most certainly would. I feel privileged to have been able to get a sweatshirt with Gallop on it. I also think that Elton was brought into your life to help you through this time. You have my deepest sympathy and love.
Bonds with a dog are so special but the bond between someone who is blind and their guide dog is beyond special and a bond us sighted people cannot fully appreciate. So sorry for your loss.
You and Gallop inspired me and my husband to foster a guide dog puppy at my local guide dog school. His name is Tucker and he's an 8 month old black lab. We have about a year left with him and I'm so happy that we are able to assist our community in such an impactful way. I would've never have been brave enough to volunteer without your videos detailing the importance of having a solid puppy raiser to start that training early. We already have two highly trained Aussies and we wanted to use the skills we've learned over the last 4 years for the good of the community and today he was labeled as 'advanced'! Thank you so much for all the awareness and inspiration you have generated with your channel and Gallop surely knows how loved he was.
Gallop will be so very missed and his beautiful and loyal personality, and steady strength has shone across the world to New Zealand. Guide dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I'm very grateful for all Gallop has taught us. Much love to you and your family. ❤️
absolutely sobbed. thanks for giving us this closure. my dog is 13 and she's starting to show her age, so like you said, i know her passing will be coming sooner rather than later. when it inevitably comes, i hope her passing will be as peaceful as you made Gallop's. With treats and at-home end of life care. May Gallop's memory be a blessing.
I’ve lost many furbabies over the years, and I’m only 22.. every time I lose one they take a piece of my broken human heart with them. When I can open my heart to love another one, the new love replaces a missing piece lost prior, with a piece of their heart. A truly loving and empathetic heart, one that gives unconditionally to those whom they love. It’s one of the hardest parts of pet ownership, guiding your furbaby over the rainbow bridge but it’s one of the most important parts too. Making sure they feel safe and all the love and gratitude that we have to give after years of them being by our side. ❤❤
My boston terrier was my first dog as an adult. She was the first thing I was responsible for and gave me my reason for living. We found out she had stomach cancer the day she passed. I was and still am gutted. I feel for you so much.
My cat of 13 years died in 2014. He was extremely skinny, and at the end he could barely stand. But on his last full day somehow he not only stood up and walked all the way from the living room to my room, but he actually jumped up on my bed. He slept on my bed all night. He died at about 7AM, literally in my arms.
Wow, Molly. I can hardly breath, I'm crying so much. I'm so sorry for your (our) loss and really appreciate you sharing all this information with us. I'm just glad Gallop had this amazing journey, touching so many peoples lives and that he had a peaceful ending. Thank you for showing him compassion at the very end and letting him go in peace. Thank you for loving him beyond measure and always being the best mom for him. Thank you for sharing him with us through all these years. Thank you for teaching us so much about guiding dogs through him. I'm glad you now have Elton to support you through this difficult time, which you didn't have when you lost Gipsy. I guess being a guide dog user is bittersweet. You go through this cycle of loving and losing your best friend. It's so unfair that dogs don't have that much time on earth with us. But their love and our love for them is endless, and at the end of our lives we can count ourselves lucky if we've been loved by even one dog. I wish you all the blessings in this world as you heal from this. We’ll always be here to support you when you're ready.
We all miss gallop. It’s the hardest thing when our dogs go to heaven. We know they’re are safe in Jesus’ arms but we miss them being with us. He was such a handsome sweet guide dog. My condolences 💐 Molly. This video made me tear up too, making me think of my angel babies , my cat Elsa and my two senior dogs, missy and dozer in heaven. Three different experiences. I cried each time. I prayed for each of them before they went to Jesus. Videos like this make me think of them and miss them all over again. It does get easier with time. I have four girl dogs. The oldest will be 5 in Feb the other three are 2 years old and will be 3 in Nov, Feb and march. None of them are service dogs. I tried to owner train but it’s hard and I just enjoy my girls at home. And take them to tractor supply sometimes or a park when it’s cool enough out and I have the energy. I will have other kittens and childhood dogs in heaven waiting too.
My heart is so so heavy, and this video took me forever to watch as i kept having to pause it and dry my weeping eyes. If it wasn't for you and Gallop i wouldn't have my guide dog, Guinness. When i began to lose my vision i was heavily in denial about my circumstances, and how much my life was spiralling out of control. Then i found you, and both you and Gallop gave me hope that maybe life could still be enjoyed and wasn't all doom and gloom, so i applied for my guide dog. So everytime i walk down the street with my boy Guinness i think of you two and smile. Thanks for letting us have a moment to smile and share our condolences to the big cheese monster. He will forever be a part of this channel, and all of our lives. Sending you so much love all to all of you. Love from your friends Frankie and Guinness 🐾🩵
I am so heartbroken. Two days ago I lost my girl to hemagiosarcoma. Which is what it sound like the same situation as Gallop. We were also told that it was best to let her go before her spleen ruptured. We brought her home one more night too and let her go the next day. We had no warning she was lethargic and didn’t want to eat or play with her favorite toy and I rushed her to vet and did the same tests. This has been a devastating situation on our family. I am so sorry for your loss. Our babies are together running in Heaven. Hugs prayers and love. Our fur babies are so special and they hold such an amazing part of our hearts.

Thank you all for your kind words and sweet messages to both myself and Gallop. It means so much and they are all so comforting to read during this time.
Times like this is when it's rough being an empath. 😢❤ Fly high Gallop! And huge hugs, Molly!
Gallop is galloping around fields in doggy heaven, getting all the belly rubs & love & attention as he should. Pain free living like a puppy 💜 He taught me & I taught my family so very much about guide dogs & he left his paw prints across the 🌎 & exceeded his expectations & his duty :) He will Dog nap in peace, we're all certain 💜 Sending my love. Hopefully some artists will draw him in his memory.
thank you to both you and Gallop for all the fun memories thank you for sharing this Molly im so happy you had him for so long we all going to miss him All the love
❤❤❤❤
I donated to the Mira Foundation today. I only mention it because I could not say why on their format. I made this donation in memory of a dog named Gallop whose bravery, loyalty, intelligence and love was as real as any creature's could be. Thank you Molly and Gallop for sharing so much with so many of us.
@MollyBurkeOfficial he had a happy, fulfilling life with you and you did everything to make him comfortable till the very end. He couldn't have a better mom. I hope you'll feel better soon and just be able to enjoy good memories
I just imagine Gypsy greeting Gallop at the rainbow bridge with “How’s our girl?” And Gallop responding with “She’s doing great! She’s sad right now but she has a great work pup to take care of her and I love her and she gave me so much cheese!” May he run and nap and eat all the heavenly treats he deserves. ❤❤❤
This is beautiful 💖
I read this In Molly’s voices for them ❤
@@laurenbradley9469 … this is so perfect 😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I was already crying, now I’m WEEPING
In his favourite safe place, with his favourite person, snuggled into your lap and drifted off to sleep. Imagine how peaceful and happy his thoughts were? That he knew he had guided you through even his last journey, made sure you were settled with Elton and is waiting to guide you across the rainbow bridge ❤
This made me tear up
This is so beautiful. He was thinking “thanks for the happiest years of my life”. We all say we don’t deserve dogs but we do, especially Molly.
I’m crying so much watching this and that comment made me feel better too, thank you. He had a beautiful life and his memory will be honored forever.
"Gallop guided me through the years where my dreams came true" - Molly
Galloper Gooseman how we will miss you so much. Molly, Naimh, and Papa Burke the love and kindness you showed Gallop was so clear and he will be fondly remembered. ❤🐾
Gallop helped those dreams come true, too! RIP Gallop🙏💘
33:15 “In his final moments I told him that he has to come back for me, so we can do it all again.” broke my heart💔 i’m so sorry Molly, rest easy Gallop..you were amazing❤️
I don’t cry easily, but during the cheese feast in the goodbye I lost it. Thank you Gallop, for all the wonderful memories. And thank you Molly, for sharing him with the world. He was a gift to us all and is already missed
Ugh same my heart just shattered he is such a good boy 😢he deserves all the cheese in the world
This is me rn…. It’s 12:30 am & im balling 😭😭😭😭😭 Rest East Sweet Gallop. Thank you for your hard work, you were the goodest boy. ♥️🫶🏾🐾🪽
Same here 💔😭
Gallop is the reason I got my guide dog, Marigold. She’s from the Guide Dog Foundation in New York, and you and Gallop inspired me to apply. I was still only 15 when they accepted me, even though you technically have to be 16 to receive a dog from them in most cases. The pandemic delayed…everything; so I didn’t get Marigold until 18, but I still feel I owe Gallop for her. Thank you for sharing him with me and us
wow, thank you for sharing
What a beautiful tribute. ❤
Molly thank you so much for sharing this. It means so much to all of us. I cried a lot but I will never forget Gallop. Many hugs to you. ❤️
My first guide, Murdock, is from GDF too! Crazy how small the world can be :)

As a veterinarian, I can tell you that all of the veterinary staff feel the loss of each and every one of our patients deeply. We often try not to break down in the room with owners, as we don't want to make it about us, but it's common for us to cry behind the scenes. Sometimes we can't hide it though and the tears flow in the room. Sometimes we have to wall off the emotions and tears to continue on with our day helping other animals.
I'm so sorry Gallop reached the end of his life; I can only imagine how much harder it is losing a service animal who gave so much to you. ❤
And thank you so much for making that last video with Gallop to allow all of us to say our goodbyes. He really did leave an impact on so many of us
It’s lovely to hear about the compassion of the veterinary community.
As someone who had to put down my furry one, I know how true this is and I thank you all for it. When we had to put him down, I could see it in all the staff there that they were sad with us, and in a way that made it more comforting.
I second this (and just finished leaving a similar comment). It's the last and most caring act of medicine, but it's so hard to do.
I have had a vet cry in the room with me while euthanizing my dog, and it was nice to feel like she was in the emotional experience with us. I would’ve been more upset if it seemed like she didn’t care. The empathy from a vet is something I really appreciate as a dog owner.
As a vet tech - I wouldn’t work for a veterinarian who DIDNT get emotional after euthanizing pets. It means that they have empathy and compassion for their patients - euthanasias never get easier, nor should they.
Gallop is by far the most famous guide dog ever and he will forever be loved and never forgotten we loved gallop dearly and still do! He was one of a kind Molly! Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
I can't help but shake the feeling that he knew you would be ok. The news came so soon after your update on Elton and how you'd finally felt settled in with him and like that bond had developed, and that's when he knew he could leave. So sorry for your loss ❤️
This comment absolutely sent me to tears 😢😭😭😭. It’s so true
This comment made me cry so much, but I believe that's true. He wanted to hang around long enough to make sure that Molly would be okay on this Earth without him. I'm so so sorry for your loss, Molly. We all loved seeing the videos of Gallop and he sure seemed like a very special guy.
Gallop will forever live on in our hearts ❤️❤️
It’s because of you and Gallup dog so thank you for showing me how to be independent not sure what else to say. You make me cry.
Gallop was a precious soul,just as his pretty human parent,Molly is.
So true 👍 😊😊
My boy Zeus and I made a food donation (and a bag of cheese treats) to our local animal shelter in honor of Gallop when we saw your tiktok. We're so sorry for your loss, Gallop made such a big impact on the world. Sending you love and healing thoughts ❤️
Wow I love this! 🥰
Gallop is the reason my second service dog is a bernese mountain dog. And the reason I ever had hope for independence. Gallop truly embodied the perfect service dog, and the perfect temperament. Dalia is now a part of his legacy.
If dogs could survive on love, they would live forever 🤍
Sending love to you and Gallop
21:16 the cheese tray!!! That makes me so happy. He was so loved
Isn’t it amazing how the death of a dog you’ve never met breaks your heart? I’m sitting here bawling watching this….. RIP Sweet Gallop boy, we miss you & we love you to bits❤️❤️ Molly we love you too & I send you some virtual hugs from Ireland❤️❤️❤️❤️
100% heartbroken. I bawled through the whole thing. Rest in peace, Sweet Cheese Boy 💙
Same girl.
I am too holy shit, and I've only been following her channel for maybe a year so I didn't even see much of him. So sorry for your loss Molly. ❤
Literally at the gym crying my eyes out 🥺 there since the beginning😭♥️
Sameeee
Oh man, I bawled like a baby. I have never felt so attached to a dog I have never met. Thank you Gallop for all your years of service, and teaching us all about what incredible creatures guide dogs are. Hugs Molly and fam. ❤
You even filming a video prior to him going to heaven for us was so moving to me because you didn’t owe us that. Thank you for sharing your journey, sharing your sweet man, who only has ever lived for you. He will never understand the gift he has been to others, but what he’s done for you-that was the delight of his life. Thank you, and goodbye Gallop. Thank you for taking care of Molly for us and making her not give up after Gypsy. She’s been a blessing to us because of it.
Buckets of tears. I never fail to be devastated by losses like this. Rest in Peace Gallop. Every good boy is an angel, always.
It legit took me until almost October to watch this :(((((((((( we so much love Gallop and Benix and Elton and all the work they do to make you the independent girl you are!
Same 😢 just came to watch this now
omg me too
Finally watched it now 💔
I’m just now watching it over a month after it was posted and I’m balling my eyes out
Rest in peace sweet Gallop! 😢❤ Gallop was and will always be very special to all of us! So sorry for your loss Molly!
It's the hardest part of loving an animal. But love, we must! And Gallop is SO loved.
And he always will be
I'm so so very sorry. When my husband's guide aged, he got so very skinny. It was so very hard. Hugs from two very sad guide dog users.
It's so hard when they go before us. Don't apologize, this is just so hard 😢
I'm afraid I just can't finish this video, gotta go hug my guide dog and cry for a bit. HUGS!
Gallop (with your help, Molly) taught me as a sighted person what it means to be a guide dog, what kind of work he does, how to treat working dogs as a stranger and as a friend. I was a little sad for myself when he retired and it took me a bit to get used to Elton because as Molly said, this was partially Gallop's channel. But Molly is clearly in gret paws with Elton. Gallop is going to be missed by thousands of people.
This was emotional to me as a veterinary technician. I've definitely cried with the humans behind the pets we've said goodbye too. When my childhood dog passed, she picked up and carried her leash on her final walk, something she hadn't done in years
Rest in peace gallop. He was such a good boy 😢❤
Gallop was a truly special boy. He waited until you were settled in your relationship with Elton to go as he knew you would be in safe paws with him and that his job here was done
I’m so very sorry for your loss Molly, take all the time you need to process this.
Thank you
A year later and I finally felt ready to watch this video. It hurts Gallop was such an inspiration for so many people, but he is in peace now. Molly your channel has inspired me myself, I now want to train my miniature American Shepherd for search and rescue. (he’s a puppy) Play on Gallop with all the other animals on the rainbow bridge.
You said when Gypsy died, that someone told you "I cried more for her than when my grandmother died." And I said the same was true for me when I saw the video. And, it's true again. I thought I'd be okay, but within 10 minutes, I was bawling. You gave him the most amazing life, and he passed painlessly, at home, with his most precious loved ones by his side. We should all be so lucky. Fly high sweet boy.
I’m preparing to say goodbye to my 16 year old dog. I got her when I was 10 and she provided so much comfort and stability throughout my childhood. I totally understand how you feel and it’s devastating. Just the thought of never seeing her again brings me to tears.
My dog is also 16 and getting worse. I’ve lived with her all my life, she’s 3 months older than me actually. She’ll be 17 on October 2nd but who can tell if she will make it to then. She’s been my big sister all my life and this video really made me appreciate the time I have with her now. I’m trying to prepare myself for her to go but I know I won’t be ready in the end. Maybe I’ll come back to this if she makes it to her birthday.
So sorry. I know it’s difficult. We lost our dog last year, she was fourteen. My husband and I still have a difficult time talking about it.
I don't know what happens after but I am sure one day will see her again. ❤️ There's no way love that strong can die. I still miss my first dog so much 💔 take all the photos from all the years & print them off into a book. I'm sure you must have do many amazing memories. Wishing you comfort and strength and a gentle hug for your goodest girl ❤️
Sending my love to you in these difficult times 💓
A huge hug for you 🫂❤️.
Can't hold back the tears. Gallop was a great teacher for those who are sighted like myself and don't understand everything 🥰🙏 love that lil pup and I never got to meet him
Gallop and Molly taught me so much about blindness and guide dogs. I will forever be grateful for the awareness that gallop has spread and the love he has shared. Thanks gallop, for taking care of our Molly for so long. We know Molly will continue your legacy and Elton John will keep her safe so she can do so.
Sitting here crying and missing my kitty. He was 17 when I had to put him down. It was all very peaceful, I held and rocked him while he received his shot and he passed in my arms. My vet has this beautiful mourning room where you and your pet go when it is the end. I know he is watching over me and I swear he sent me one of the 3 kitties I have as it acts just like he did!
I don’t think I’ve cried this hard since I said goodbye to my own dog three years ago, it’s truly a pain like no other. Rest easy gallop, the goodest boy ❤
"We built this together," Oh that really made me cry - gosh Gallop is living his best life in heaven, looking down on you and your family Molly. We will miss him forever, but his legacy will live on in all the ways he touched the world, and is cemented in that exact statement...you built this together
I knew I was going to cry but oh man. Losing a dog is so hard, I can not imagine losing a guide dog. He kept you safe for 7 years. He was a good boy, he’ll come back to you just like Gypsy did.❤
'He was more angel than dog.'
I could see the peace in Gallop when you were sitting in the room with him.
Working in a vet office and having gone through this in my personal life, you can see when a pup is ready. He was ready. He knew you were going to be well taken care of and he knew he didn't need to be worried and was ready to take his forever nap. He'll be waiting for you, Elton John, and your family.
Hugging my critters a bit tighter and sending healing vibes to you and your family.
The worst part of owning a pet, no matter how many you have it never gets any easier. I'm not going to pretend I can even understand how much more difficult it must be when that pet was also a lifeline. Thank you for sharing your story, and Gallop with us. He was an absolutely delight every time I got to see him on screen. May you hurt ease, but the love and memories remain forever.
Gypsy, Gallop, Bennix, Elton... All of your dogs have touched all of your viewers in their own ways, undoubtedly they will continue to do so in each of their legacies with you ❤️
Bennix?
@@kyli1204 Bennix (aka Benelux or Ben or Benny) was Molly's dog after Gallop first retired but Bennix had to retire suddenly due to complications that Molly has kept mostly private. She only worked him for about a year before he had to be retired early.
@@suungirl128People on Patreon said it was shared what happened, so what I know is secondhand, but I think it was accurate. Suffice to say, Ben fortunately was able to be a healthy pet for a new owner even though he could not work ad a guide dog.
Didn’t he retire with his puppy raisers?
@@lf206 I honestly can’t remember the specifics on if it was someone who already had cared for him, or if it was a new family… maybe someone else can recall those details…?
Thank you, Molly, for allowing us to say goodbye to Gallop with you. He really did mean so much to many of us and I know it doesn't compare to how much he meant to you in the slightest, but it still really does mean a lot that you thought of us too in his finally days. Thank you.
Gallop lived a life and experienced things many dogs will never get to. He was so lucky to be yours, and I'm sure Gypsy is thrilled to meet him. I'm so sorry Molly ❤️🩹
I honestly feel like he lived a life most people will never get to experience! He did so many incredible things with his time here... he left a huge mark on the world.
Molly, you should be extremely proud of your boy Gallop! He did more in his lifetime than most people. That's quite an accomplishment for a dog. 💗🙏
My condolences to you.. It’s not easy losing any pet. Especially ones who have served you and impacted your life in such a helpful and loving manner. He was so loved and so very cared for. ❤️
Crying
Saying goodbye in a peaceful way when they still have a quality of life is the best gift we can give them.
I've had two cats pass now this way, with a home care veterinarian. It is such a peaceful process and so much easier than watching them decline or taking them into a vet clinic. If you can afford it, I recommend this for anyone who has to say goodbye to a pet. It's a blessing to be able to give them a peaceful passing. Gallop was so loved.
It's amazing seeing just the sheer number of people that love Gallop. He has beought so much joy, comfort, and help to SO many people.
I didn’t tell you this on Instagram, because at the time I was still grieving in my own way (as someone who loved and watched Gallop from afar), but that little ball of cheese loving sunshine was the reason I decided to keep fighting for my own right to better care as a disabled/chronically ill person. He showed me what a difference a pup like him could do for someone who needed him, but he also showed me how silly and goofy these pups can be during their time off. I’m finally, after so many years, almost there. I’m getting my prospect soon (owner training the pup with the help of a professional service dog trainer who has his own organization and has worked as a lead trainer in one of the biggest guide dog schools in my country), and if it’s a boy I would love to name him something that reminds me of Gallop :’) I mean, imagine a yellow lab named Cheese?😂😭 Or, if you’d like to name him, I’d be honored, and I’m sure he would be too (If it ends up being a girl, you can still name her if you’d like). Thank you for being so open with us, always, and for trusting us enough to show us your more vulnerable side during this very difficult time. You’re so, so loved and supported, Molly.
PS. I just noticed (I think?) that my comment was in the video🥺
Wow! The impact of that good boy. 🌞🖤
I did not expect to be SOBBING right now :( RIP Gallop, he was the goodest boy and will always have a place in our hearts 🖤
I am crying watching this😢 i lost my dog in an accident last year , she was only 4,5 years. I feel this all over watcing this,RIP sweet Gallop. She died in my arms 😢
I love the fact that with euthanasia on our animals, that we can indeed be there in their last minutes with us. I've treasured that also, upsetting though it may be. For my beloved pets, I feel I owe that to them. Thank you so much, Molly, for sharing that with us. This guy wishes you the best from Texas, and yes, I loved the interview that you had with Paul Castle!
Having worked in the veterinary field, I can say that the hardest part of the end is witnessing the pain of the owner(s). You know the animal will be OK, will be out of pain and at peace -- but for the people who love them, the grief is heavy. Sending love to you, Molly, and to Gallop and the whole Burke family.
Thank you so much for the work you do ❤
❤❤❤. Gallop was an amazing companion, I didn’t get to meet gallop but I could feel his energy. I had a traumatic experience with dogs a few years ago that has put me in a spot where I now fear dogs. Gallop’s energy gave me so much hope that one day I will be able to interact with dogs again. ❤❤❤
I'm sorry that happened to you and I really wish you had the chance to meet him. I know his calming soul would have helped restore your confidence.
Thank you Molly, Mr Elton has a lot of the same energy. Fingers crossed that our paths cross one day. ❤❤
@@MollyBurkeOfficialHugs💜
Sobbing along with you, Molly.
Gallop was so lucky to have you as his human. All the love and care you gave him, the exciting job he could do for you. And not to forget the cheese treats.
He must have been so proud to literally guide you through life. At the moment you can't be around him physically, but your bond is just stretched, not broken. He's watching and guiding you from heaven.
Im so sorry Molly, you gave Gallop the best life a dog could have.
Molly we will miss Gallop, you shared him with us and we will miss him. Gallop is with Gypsy and they will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge to help guide you home. You shared so much of your pets with us and we will all miss him. Gallop rest easy knowing that Molly has Elton John to guide her now.
please take all the time you need to grieve. gallop was so special and so, so loved, and i'm sure he knew that. we love you, molly, and gallop will be so missed
Gallop is over the rainbow bridge eating huge cheese wheels and guiding and protecting all the dogs who passed to soon just waiting for the day he can run to greet you. Gallop you're heart was huge you will be remembered by so many
I had to stop this 5 times to just bawl. I’m so sorry for your loss and your family’s loss. Gallop was one in a million, and I’m glad he put his head between your legs and your dad’s. I believe that was him saying his goodbye. Thank you Gallop for being an amazing service dog that we got to learn so much from. Molly, you and your family will be in my heart and prayers. May the Lord bring you comfort swiftly. 💜💜💜💜
Molly, I haven’t seen your videos in so long. I’m so sorry. When I think Molly I think Gallop. I was shocked to see this. I’m so proud of you and everything he has done. He was an amazing boy. We all loved him and we know you did too. He’s very very special. You are going to be just fine he’s always with you and sending friends to keep you company.
Well here I am, sobbing and holding my dog, who is very confused
RIP sweet boy Gallop 🐾💙. You've left your mark on the world, and will forever be in our hearts. Molly, thanks for sharing him with us 💜.
I'm so sorry Molly, losing a dog is horrendous enough without losing a dog as important as Gallop was to you.
I'd like to add my absolute favourite Gallop moment was when you did a video about how he guides you and you asked him to find a chair. And he led you confidently to a chair and as you went to sit in it, you realised there was someone sitting in it and Gallop was like "you asked me for a chair, that's a chair, what more do you want?! ". It'll always make me laugh when I think of that video.
He was the Goodest of Boys.
Which video was that? I'd love to see it if you can recall the name of it.
@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606 How Guide Dogs Guide A Blind Person
Ughh I had to pause to cry many times. Thanks for sharing Gallop with the world, and for your openness in sharing what happened. He impacted everyone he met, and it’s helps heal and bring closure to listen and cry with you. Love you, Molly. 🐾♥️
Brb literally sobbed so hard
my condlences molly we all loved him i felt the same with my cats
Molly, my heart breaks for you. As a pet owner, I understand the incredible pain of losing your best friend, but I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose a dog who served by your side in so many ways. RIP Galloper Gooseman. We’ll all miss you
The hardest part about having dogs is they get to spend their whole life with us but we miss them for all of ours ❤ I'm sure Elton will be a huge comfort to you x x
Molly, you should be extremely proud of your boy Gallop! He did more in his lifetime than most people. That's quite an accomplishment for a dog. RIP Gallop💗🙏
It is so very hard to lose a dog n I know you feel. I lost my family dog earlier in the month of August of this year. May both of our dogs rest in peace up in heaven
We love you and miss you very much gallop 😢😢😢❤❤
I lost my 17 year old cat last year, and I can’t imagine how much worse it has to be to when he was your guide dog! Sending sympathy to you!
My cat is also 17, she is with my mum I’ve had her since I was 12, I’ll be 30 next year! She still climbs trees and does her usual cat things, I forget how old she is I still can’t think of the day she leaves us, I know it could be soon but my heart still tells me she will live forever ❤ I am so sorry for your loss I’m sure you probably felt the same I am dreading the day she goes
Our 14 year old kitty is showing signs of aging and in the back of my mind there is that lingering dread of when we’ll part. It’s never easy to lose pets as they take such a special place in our hearts. The silver lining is that we get opportunities to have different furry friends throughout our own lives.
@@JisooTurtleRabbitt Thank you for your kind words, and for telling me about your 17 year old cat. I wish you many more happy years together!
@@cd2290 Oh, it’s so hard when our cats start showing signs of aging. My wish is for you to have many happy years together. And that’s true, there is that silver lining.
so sorry for your loss ❤
Hey Molly, I work in a German shelter so I’ve comforted more animals through their last moments than I can count and I can tell you: you did everything right with your boy ❤ in my experience if animals are ready to go, putting them to sleep is especially peaceful and without any of the not so nice side effects.
Gallop was ready to leave and didn’t suffer any pain except maybe the typical “old man” pains which we’re all gonna feel some day :D He had a fulfilling working life and an amazing retirement all thanks to you and your family! Much love and comfort in the next few weeks from Germany ❤
I’m so sorry Molly 💔 losing a normal pet is hard so I can’t even imagine what it’s like to lose a guide dog. Gallop will never be forgotten ❤️
This is really sad, I really loved watching Gallop.
Balling, it's just that important, that meaningful.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gallop was such an incredible dog. He was there for you when you needed him the most, and you 100% returned that favor for him. It takes a lot of courage to see our pets in vulnerable states and it takes a lot to be there when they pass. It's very hard. I'm so sorry. Gallop loved you very much and he's still watching over you now ❤️
Oh Gallop. Rest in the sweetest of peace. He had a beautiful life and is leaving a big legacy behind. I learned so much from him.
Currently holding my 9 month old puppy so close right now 😥🩵 Gallop was and always will be so loved
I am not one to cry over animals, but I cried during this. Galloo was so much more than juast a dog. I wish everyone Who is grieving over him the best and lots of strenght. Gallop is with gypsy now and probably discussing how they loved being of service to molly
Took me 8 days to watch because i knew it'd make me sad. I'm sorry molly. Gallop and gypsy together!
Around 6 years ago, I found your channel. I was struggling with PTSD and no medication was really helping. I also have multiple heart issues. Because of Gallop, I started owner training my dog to respond and alert to PTSD symptoms. Eventually, she started naturally alerting to heart rate and blood pressure changes! She worked for 6 years and is now 12. She had started to finally show she was getting older last year, so she retired. I now have a 1 year old SDiT who is doing well, but I took a loan for professional help this time since I'm an adult now!
I am dreading saying goodbye to my girl and hope she has more good years to come (she's a pomeranian, so longer life span), but I know one day we will go through this.
I can only imagine what you're going through. I owe it to you and Gallop to learning that a service dog would massively change my life for the better, especially as my heart has worsened. Gallop is and always will be missed. You gave him the best ending, peaceful, safe, and loved. This is a lovely but sad video in his memory!
Losing a pet is so hard. Especially when you and gallop are so connected on so many levels. You guys have each other's hearts. He had the most fabulous life. He was a lucky dog ❤
As a pet parent, I feel your emotions so deeply. If I could hug you through the screen, I most certainly would. I feel privileged to have been able to get a sweatshirt with Gallop on it. I also think that Elton was brought into your life to help you through this time. You have my deepest sympathy and love.
Bonds with a dog are so special but the bond between someone who is blind and their guide dog is beyond special and a bond us sighted people cannot fully appreciate. So sorry for your loss.
Our 3-year-old dachshund came dowm with sudden masses in her abdomen. It was absolutely devastating. No time to make peace or reconcile. Sending love
I haven’t cried so much for a dog I have never met. But thank you for sharing Gallop with us. We’re all going to miss him so much. ♥️
You and Gallop inspired me and my husband to foster a guide dog puppy at my local guide dog school. His name is Tucker and he's an 8 month old black lab. We have about a year left with him and I'm so happy that we are able to assist our community in such an impactful way. I would've never have been brave enough to volunteer without your videos detailing the importance of having a solid puppy raiser to start that training early. We already have two highly trained Aussies and we wanted to use the skills we've learned over the last 4 years for the good of the community and today he was labeled as 'advanced'! Thank you so much for all the awareness and inspiration you have generated with your channel and Gallop surely knows how loved he was.
Rest in peace Gallop. You'll live on in our hearts and minds ❤
That amazing creature will never know the effect he's had on the world.
Sorry for your loss Molly is sad loose your dog and your best friend
Gallop will be so very missed and his beautiful and loyal personality, and steady strength has shone across the world to New Zealand. Guide dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I'm very grateful for all Gallop has taught us. Much love to you and your family. ❤️
absolutely sobbed. thanks for giving us this closure. my dog is 13 and she's starting to show her age, so like you said, i know her passing will be coming sooner rather than later. when it inevitably comes, i hope her passing will be as peaceful as you made Gallop's. With treats and at-home end of life care. May Gallop's memory be a blessing.
I’ve lost many furbabies over the years, and I’m only 22.. every time I lose one they take a piece of my broken human heart with them. When I can open my heart to love another one, the new love replaces a missing piece lost prior, with a piece of their heart. A truly loving and empathetic heart, one that gives unconditionally to those whom they love. It’s one of the hardest parts of pet ownership, guiding your furbaby over the rainbow bridge but it’s one of the most important parts too. Making sure they feel safe and all the love and gratitude that we have to give after years of them being by our side. ❤❤
Watching this while cuddling my elderly dog was very hard. She'll get extra hugs and cheese for Gallop tonight 🌸
My boston terrier was my first dog as an adult. She was the first thing I was responsible for and gave me my reason for living. We found out she had stomach cancer the day she passed. I was and still am gutted. I feel for you so much.
My cat of 13 years died in 2014. He was extremely skinny, and at the end he could barely stand. But on his last full day somehow he not only stood up and walked all the way from the living room to my room, but he actually jumped up on my bed. He slept on my bed all night. He died at about 7AM, literally in my arms.
Wow, Molly. I can hardly breath, I'm crying so much. I'm so sorry for your (our) loss and really appreciate you sharing all this information with us. I'm just glad Gallop had this amazing journey, touching so many peoples lives and that he had a peaceful ending. Thank you for showing him compassion at the very end and letting him go in peace. Thank you for loving him beyond measure and always being the best mom for him. Thank you for sharing him with us through all these years. Thank you for teaching us so much about guiding dogs through him. I'm glad you now have Elton to support you through this difficult time, which you didn't have when you lost Gipsy. I guess being a guide dog user is bittersweet. You go through this cycle of loving and losing your best friend. It's so unfair that dogs don't have that much time on earth with us. But their love and our love for them is endless, and at the end of our lives we can count ourselves lucky if we've been loved by even one dog. I wish you all the blessings in this world as you heal from this. We’ll always be here to support you when you're ready.
We all miss gallop. It’s the hardest thing when our dogs go to heaven. We know they’re are safe in Jesus’ arms but we miss them being with us. He was such a handsome sweet guide dog. My condolences 💐 Molly.
This video made me tear up too, making me think of my angel babies , my cat Elsa and my two senior dogs, missy and dozer in heaven. Three different experiences. I cried each time. I prayed for each of them before they went to Jesus. Videos like this make me think of them and miss them all over again. It does get easier with time. I have four girl dogs. The oldest will be 5 in Feb the other three are 2 years old and will be 3 in Nov, Feb and march. None of them are service dogs. I tried to owner train but it’s hard and I just enjoy my girls at home. And take them to tractor supply sometimes or a park when it’s cool enough out and I have the energy. I will have other kittens and childhood dogs in heaven waiting too.
My heart is so so heavy, and this video took me forever to watch as i kept having to pause it and dry my weeping eyes. If it wasn't for you and Gallop i wouldn't have my guide dog, Guinness. When i began to lose my vision i was heavily in denial about my circumstances, and how much my life was spiralling out of control. Then i found you, and both you and Gallop gave me hope that maybe life could still be enjoyed and wasn't all doom and gloom, so i applied for my guide dog. So everytime i walk down the street with my boy Guinness i think of you two and smile. Thanks for letting us have a moment to smile and share our condolences to the big cheese monster. He will forever be a part of this channel, and all of our lives. Sending you so much love all to all of you. Love from your friends Frankie and Guinness 🐾🩵
Not me literally crying through this entire video
I am so heartbroken. Two days ago I lost my girl to hemagiosarcoma. Which is what it sound like the same situation as Gallop. We were also told that it was best to let her go before her spleen ruptured. We brought her home one more night too and let her go the next day. We had no warning she was lethargic and didn’t want to eat or play with her favorite toy and I rushed her to vet and did the same tests.
This has been a devastating situation on our family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our babies are together running in Heaven. Hugs prayers and love. Our fur babies are so special and they hold such an amazing part of our hearts.
