I keep hoping to wake up and hear you in your kennel,” Senna’s handler, Dylan Landers, posted to Facebook. “I can’t wait to be greeted by your healthy self when my time comes so you can show me around, just like the first day of handler school. I hope to hear your raspy bark again and the unlimited hours of ball we will get to play. All dogs go to heaven, especially you.”
