Before someone is like “why did you name your dog after an anime character wtf?”,

I named him after the sound Hashira for multiple reasons. This pup was the most patient, loving, and gentle boy you could ever meet. He was also the most courageous and brave little spunkball. He was 1 of 13 pups in his litter, and was given slim chance to live by his vet. She kept telling his breeder she didn’t expect him to live thru the first 48 hours. Yet, somehow beat the odds.

Tengen, also means “Heaven” in kanji. One of the 3 types of scripture in Japanese. In ways its hard to describe, I felt like he was sent from heaven, by a family member who had recently passed. He came into my life during one of my lowest points, and taught me many things. From what love and devotion truly means, to grief. He truly was, the greatest dog ❤️
