Jonathan Park Team,
As many of you know, on our series the Brenans have a dog named Shadow.
From
the very beginning of the series, we decided to use our dog, Buddy to
play the role of Shadow, instead of using canned sound effects. And
Buddy did do most of the tracks. Buddy could bark and howl on cue.
On Saturday night (December 3rd), Buddy lost a quick bout with a brain tumor. He was 14 years old (and was in pretty good health for his age).
His
passions (besides acting) included camping, hanging out at the beach,
canoeing, and protecting his family. He was one of the most
tender-hearted dogs I’ve known. When Sandy and I first got Buddy (he
actually chose us), we prayed that somehow he could be used for eternal
purposes. It makes me smile that millions have heard him on our series,
and that he was a tool for spreading the creation message. Further, he
was often the door-opener for many witnessing opportunities.
I am fully aware that he was only a dog, but since he played a part on our team I wanted to pay him final tribute!
May the Lord continue to use all that we do for His glory!
Pat
So long, Buddy! God certainly uses all creatures great and small for His glory!
