Tribute to Bibop

No, no, you`re right, this is not me,
this is the dog my humans had before me.
He was called Bibop and he lived with them from 1975 till 1986.
My humans loved him like they love me and they still talk of him often.
Bibop came from the same dog shelter where my humans found me. Only he was much younger.
And nervous. Something bad must have happened to him when he was a puppy.
Something he never really got over. Bibop lived with my humans in a farmhouse,
and then in the city, and he traveled with them like I do now.
When he was almost 11 years old Bibop got very sick and never recovered.
His death made my humans very sad,
in fact it took them 16 years before they were ready to find another dog.
And then they found me!

So here`s to Bibop, who is surely in dog heaven.
