Hercules ("Bear" 1998-2012) passed away this morning. He was a big, beautiful boy - a gentle giant who loved walks, food and us. He had endless patience and tolerance and he was Uncle Herkie to the pugs who came into our home.

Thank you to Cathy and Bill who brought Herkie into our lives and gave us the privilege of his tender company since June 2005. He was a Peachy Pugs Rescue pug.

Hercules will be missed by his pug-siblings Roxy, Fee and Cody and his human family David, Karen, Matthew, Amy, Ceara, Zachary and Jacob. We love you, Bear.
