Ari was a sweet, gentle and playful soul.
He was always up for an adventure; whether that was a 14km hike in his younger years, or a simple car ride to A&W to get his beloved chicken strips (one of the only ways he would take his meds later on).
He loved exploring his backyard, long walks with lots of sniffing and cuddling up near us for naps. One of his favourite places was our family home on Nicola Lake in Merritt, where he could run free and just do dog things.
He loved people and would get compliments on how beautiful he was almost every time we took him out and about.
His loss has left a huge void in our home and our hearts. We are so lucky to have called him ours and will miss him for the rest of our lives.
Rest in peace sweet boy.
