Sad news

Regular Alpha blog readers have probably caught on to my love of dogs. I talk about them all the time. One of our favorite Alpha dogs, however, was a beautiful hound mix named Hurley. Hurley lived with Bridget, who helps keep this blog up and running.

Bridget and Hurley made quite a pair. He often accompanied her to work, and was a perfect gentleman while in the office. When they weren't at work together, they were usually jogging, swimming at the beach, or romping with the other dogs at the local dog park.

But a few weeks ago, Hurley was struck by a car, and he didn't make it. We are all very saddened by this news at Alpha (though I doubt anyone is as sad as Bridget -- she's a bit of a wreck without her baby).

In case you couldn't tell from his last Alpha post, Hurley was quite a goof ball. And he was incredibly affectionate and intelligent. Take a look at Bridget's post on her beloved pup on her own blog, Yellaphant. Now try and tell me your heart isn't breaking too.
