Luke Doggerty

Luke Doggerty

Guardian of the Van

October 2008 - June 2015 RIP

In the short time that Luke Doggerty travelled with us he made hundreds of friends around the world. In June 2015 Luke became suddenly ill from a tumor that caused his spleen to burst. It was an unexpected shock to us all. Luke was his usually bouncy and happy self up to the day before his spleen burst, never exhibited any distress, and passed peacefully in Rob & Gretchen's arms on the lawn of the vet in Switzerland surrounded by beautiful mountains. Thank you, Luke, for bringing so many smiles to us all!
