Louis was born on February 10, 1998 from a litter of 13 puppies. He was the runt, but only in size, as he had the heart and personality of a giant. We fell in love with Louis when he followed us around nonstop, seeming to say, "hi, I'm Louis, take me home". Louis was a strong and resilient spirit -- he had many operations on most limbs, but nothing kept him down. He loved tennis balls, swimming, and everyone he met. Louis is best described as pure love. He lived a few months shy of his 15th birthday and is survived by his brother and litter mate Willie.
