The Greater Pyrenees or My boy Finnegan We had to put Finnegan down last month. He was 10.5 years old which is pretty good for a dog the vet said would not make it past 8. Finnegan was rescued from a farm at 5 weeks old, 2 of his siblings were victims of coyotes. I had to think long and hard about keeping Finnegan because he was so much dog. I have no trouble seeing him in the role of coyote killer, he was so powerful. He fought to the very end but the organ damage from massive doses of medication was permanent. I have never cried so much as an adult. Finnegan is buried today in Pet Heaven Memorial Gardens. His headstone gives no dates, it just tells others he was well loved by myself and my family. Eight dead coyotes and Casper was still fighting. At twenty months he would be nearing his prime and would be almost unstoppable. Finnegan at 3 years old was the most magnificent* animal I have ever known and that is the right word.* He was so powerful and so loyal, it still takes my breath away thinking about the things he could do. He developed epilepsy at about 40 months, pheno-barbitol first then when he was 6, potassium bromide. Anyone who has owned a Greater Pyrenees is probably not surprised at the eight dead coyotes. Casper was lucky as well, most dogs do not survive those odds (400+lbs of coyote vs perhaps 100lbs of dog).
