Got a Dog Worth Barkin’ About?
We’ve got a place for it.
Some dogs come with big stories.
Some come with one good moment that says everything.
Either way… we want to hear it.
Tell us about the dog you miss, the one who found you, or the one currently running the household. Write as much or as little as you like. If you’ve only got the highlights, that’s plenty to get started.
If it feels worth remembering, it belongs here.
Stories we feature may appear on DarlingDog.com, on social, or quietly stealing hearts across the South.
Upload a pic. Brag a bit. Share a few words. We’ll take it from there.

Tigger Wanstrath
December 2012-June 2025
Dallas, Texas
She survived cancer. Survived a coyote attack. Hiked mountains like she owned the lease. Even when her body was fading – half-blind, mostly deaf, breathing hard – Tigger was still calling the shots. Tigger came into our life looking like a mop that had lost a knife fight. Street dog. Flea motel. Three abscesses. One working eye. Zero chill. But damn, did she know how to live. Last week, we said goodbye. But her story? It’s not done with us yet. Tigger proved you don’t need perfect to live big. Sometimes, you just have to drag your raggedy self onto the trail. Show up scrappy. Chase the wild thing. And make some noise while you’re at it. And when you go? Leave the trail better than you found it. We miss you, Tigs. Thanks for showing us how it’s done.
