From initial concern to the end took only 3 weeks and he didn’t seem to
be in any pain. On the day he died I leapt out of bed just before 4am
for no reason and found him in the kitchen with, for the first time, no
tail wagging. We both stayed with him and he went outside a few times
but couldn't settle. His breathing was very rapid and we made a phone
call to the vet requesting the ultimate home visit but before we could
give her directions he died in my arms.

I will miss him by my side when I was cooking or prepping food, he
seemed to know when I was about to start and would creep into the
kitchen to be alongside me. He leaves a legacy for mastiffs to be proud
of and I hope it isn’t too long before we see another mastiff in the Best
in Show ring
