Arkadas TuzlaZevrek - R.I.P

"Diesel"

Arkadas TuzlaZevrek

20th May 2005 - 19th January 2009

Sadly, Diesel passed away on 19th January 2009 after a short illness. He was suffering from Chylothorax, an uncommon illness, which is unfortunately often fatal. There is a link for information on this condition at www.vet.vga.edu/vpp/clerk/rockwell/index.php

Diesel was owned, loved, and the constant companion of Theresa. He was extremely well known in the town, and went everywhere with Theresa. He was the most amazing male anatolian, his temperament was absolutely the best, and was able to run free off the lead, with other male and female dogs, as well as being completely trustworthy with the young and old.

Thank you to Theresa for giving this boy such an amazing home and working so hard to make him the 'one of a kind' boy that he was.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, both human and doggy.

R.I.P Deez. XXXXXX

After almost 30 years in the breed, I have never heard of an Anatolian suffering from this condition, and I hope that incidents of such a devastating and fatal condition remain rare.
