Our Stars for Pet Safety
In Remembrance of Our Beloved Mascot "Leo"
He was a Star for Pet Safety
Leo
was
an
incredible
and
rare
Flame
Point
Siamese
Rumpie
and
was
the
inspiration
behind
the
Pet
Alert
Emergency
Information
System
due
to
his
physical
handicaps
and
need
for
medication
and
medical
attention
to
survive
after
he
had
undergone
two
life
threatening surgeries.
Leo
was
a
very
unusual
cat
with
a
amazing
attitude,
that
seemed
to
understand
everything
one
would
say
to
him
and
demonstrated
affection
and
caring
for
all
animals
and
people.
He
also
enjoyed
to
travel
in
all
modes
of
transportation;
cars,
planes,
trains
and
his
favorite was sailing
Our
favorite
picture
of
Leo
(the
oval
shaped
picture
to
the
left)
was
taking
sailing
on
Lake
Pleasant
in
AZ,
the
others
where
taken
at
different events. Leo's favorite spot however, was the fire truck.
“Leo
was
our
star
for
pet
safety"
and
traveled
all
over
the
United
States
during
his
career
to
help
educate
pet
owners
of
the
problems
and
dangers
for
pets
left
"home
alone"
without
proper
information
and
the
importance
to
be
Pet
Alert
wherever
your
pet
is,
even
when
traveling.
During
Leo's
10
year
career
he
appeared
in
articles
and
on
several
national
and
local
TV/Cable
stations
sharing
our
mission
and
representing
the
importance
of
pet
safety
awareness.
He
also
appeared
with
the
fire
dept.
mascot
"Sparky“
and
other
firefighters
at
special
events
and
was
the
mascot
of
the
Orange
County
Pet
Safety
Days
in
CA
to
promote
disaster
preparedness
and
pet
first-
aid information. Now know as Fire and Pet Safety Day in July.
Unfortunately
Leo
suffered
with
many
physical
handicaps
during
his
13
year
life,
however
most
people
never
knew
the
difficulties
of
them
because
of
his
undying
love
for
life
and
his
courage
to
try
to
overcome the limitations God gave him.
Leo
had
a
precious
gift,
which
inspired
many
people
to
be
"thankful
for
life
itself
"
and
showed
many
the
simple
pleasure
of
expressing
kindness
to
others
could
make
the
difference
for
them
to
keep
on
living and see the rewards that life can bring.
Leo
passed
away
in
November
2002
and
will
be
remembered
by
all
who knew him as a
"little
man
in
a
cat’s
body",
who
his
veterinarians
called
the
"Miracle
Cat".
Leo you are missed, sleep well for you deserve it.
In Remembrance of My Best Friend
for 15 Years "Red"
He was a Star for Pet Safety
Red was an Anatolian Shepherd and my best friend for 15 years.
Red
was
known
to
most,
as
a
really
BIG
dog
(125
lbs)
that
made
friends
everywhere
he
went
and
had
a
heart
of
gold.
He
was
a
very
special
friend
to
me
too
and
always
seemed
to
know
when
I
needed
that special nudge or happy smile.
In
November
2009
Red
suffered
from
a
stroke
and
passed
away
on
February 15, 2010 peacefully at home with his family.
Only
because
of
Red’s
stroke
did
I
realize
that
the
information
in
the
last
two
chapters
of
the
Guide
to
Pet
Safety
where
needed
to
help
pet
owners,
know
how
to
realize
if
a
pet
is
in
distress
and
to
know
what
to
do
to
quickly
to
help
them
until
they
could
reach
proper
medical care.
I
have
dedicated
the
last
two
chapters
of
the
Guide
to
Pet
Safety
to
honor
"Red",
since
it
was
his
medical
emergency
that
alerted
me
to
share
this
important
knowledge.
My
hope
is
that
it
will
help
a
pet
owner in crisis help their pet, in the time of need.
I know Red will be missed by all that knew him, especially me.
Red,
I
miss
our
walks
and
playing
fetch
with
your
ball,
which
you
loved
so
much.
And
quiet
support
you
give
me
while
you
chewed
on
your big rawhide bone next to my desk, and that I miss the most.
Dream well my friend and may the angels play fetch with you now.
With all my Love, Camy
