VGSR sends condolences to Bobbie Cascio on the sudden loss of Apollo on August 4th, '03. He collapsed and was rushed to the vet for emergency intestinal surgery, but did not survive. He was an awesome dog! Apollo demonstrated all the good qualities the German Shepherd represents: intelligence, loyalty, good-looks, curiosity and humor. He was only 1.5 years old and quite tall. He was doing quite well in his foster home despite having a pancreas insufficiency known to German Shepherds. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
