Bobi The Bulldog


The family lost beloved Boba Fett, an English bulldog and valued member of the tribe, after complications at the Oregon State University Veterinary School to remove a cancerous mass in his chest. A faithful companion to our wee one, Bobi was coming up on his eighth birthday in March, 2021.

Boba was a sweetheart around people, though an occasional errant dog could ignite his wrath. As implied by the name of the breed, bulldogs can be stubborn and ferocious, but most are friendly and capable of forming strong bonds with children and other animals.

However, when a particular dog would strike a pose or look at him sideways, Boba could be relentless. One particular incident comes to mind: as an Irish wolfhound walked by the house one day, Boba bulled open the storm door and took the dog down while the owners stood helpless and horrified.

After interceding to break up the fight, all was well with all concerned. Boba Fett was a reliable companion to family and friends, and he was little brother to Moxie the Golden Retriever. Boba Fett was loved and adored by all who came into contact with him. We will fondly remember him always.
