Tyson

Tyson, you will always be my miracle pup. #TysonStrong because of how determined you were to live. Almost as if you had known you would be put into the arms of people who actually cared. Little did you know just how many people that would be. However, the person who gave you all her heart and soul was your Momma. She showed you what unconditional love was all about. She gave you the life you deserved all along. It just hurts that your past life took away so much from you. Which took our time away from you in the end. The gentle hand of God is upon you now. While a chunk of my heart has gone with you. You will Never Be Forgotten 💔

So many dogs passed through Providing for Paws and Tyson was on of the ones that left a mark on everyone's heart. Just weeks after his rescue he was in my parents home for a few nights before he was set up with his foster. I was amazed by his strength. He had more bones showing than Skeletor but he was still wandering around looking for affection and brining with life. I am so thankful for Tyson. Thankful that the woman who abused him had a strike of conciousness and turned him over to animal control. I'm thankful that Providing for Paws stepped in as his voice. I am thankful for the many vets that helped him fight. I am thankful for the hundreds of supporters and donors that help pay for his treatment. I am thankful that the person who did this to him saw some sort of justice. But what I am most thankful for is that he experienced love. The same unconditional love he gave. He was a fighter and showed us what strenth was. And I am thankful I got to meet him.

Tyson you will always have a piece of my heart.... Much love, prayers and thanks to all involved in his loving care. #Team Tyson #Tyson Strong 💔

Tyson. You were a true symbol of strength and touched the hearts & lives of so many people. May your sweet soul rest in peace. #Tysonstrong

Tyson, I followed you from the start. I never prayed for a dog so much as I prayed for you. I’m so glad you found love and friendship in your life. Peace. Hugs.🌹

Tyson 🐾 TyTy You will never know how many lives you changed with your determination to survive. The strength you had to overcome with all of life’s struggles was something to behold ❤️ You gave us several scares but each time you showed how strong you truly were. As you learned what Love was your personality shined brighter than any star ⭐️ Watching you come back to us day by day and learn to live as a healthy happy boy was a true joy. You made me smile and laugh more times than I can count, your silly antics kept your family on their toes and they enjoyed every minute of it. My heart hurts that your journey here has ended but your life was not in vain. Your Momma, family, friends and Providing for Paws made sure to get your story out there, you had friends all of the world who loved you and wanted nothing but the best for you ❤️ I am thankful to have been a part in your story, not a day will go by that we won’t think of you...... Thank you for loving me TyTy Always To the moon and back #TysonStrong #TeamTyson #Alwaysinourhearts ❤️🐾

Ty Ty, when I first saw you my heart broke. I had never seen an animal in such horrible shape. We all cried, not knowing if you would live or die. Well, you were a survivor. You showed everyone what you were made of. Not only did you survive, you became a beautiful, loving dog that gave everyone so much joy. It was not an easy road for you, but with each setback you came back stronger. Love is a wonderful thing. I believe that all the love that came to you from your family, friends and even people who never met you, gave you the strength to keep going. You had some personality!! How you loved to go "shopping" in the pantry!! And you loved to lounge on the deck in the sunshine. Back scratches were a favorite, too. No one was more photogenic than you!! You always were patient, even when you were posing with showercap or sunglasses. We will miss you, dear friend. There is just too much room on the couch now. But, don't worry you will never be forgotten. We will think of you and smile. We will remember your strength. We will keep you in our hearts until we see you again. Rest in peace, big guy. You were Tyson Strong!

I was lucky to meet Tyson when I did. I remember going to EVH to see him for the first time, not expecting to see his little fraile body, I immediately thought who could do such a thing! Even after all he had been through, he accepted people, I sat on the floor to gain acceptance and without hesitation he dropped his big ol head in my lap. I am so thankful to everyone that helped save him and to the Bullard family for making the last years of his life so wonderful. Tyson will be missed dearly.❤️ 🐾

Oh Tyson you will be so missed. ❤ Godspeed. Find a sweet place in the grass beside a lake and remember to meet your momma when she comes.

He won over many hearts including mine 💗. The time hop of his story had just came up in my memories and all the sadness came rushing back. Such a sweet, special boy. Thank you for helping him live out his last years knowing what love it 💕. RIP Tyson 🐶

Tyson, I watched your rescue and recovery from the first moments. While it breaks my heart that your first years weren’t happy, I’m glad that the last three were filled with love, affection and happiness.

Oh Tyson, you are a story for the ages. No dog should have had to have lived through what you did. No dog should have survived what you did. But you had plans....Plans to be the best boy!! I’m grateful to have seen your story and been able to “follow” you. You brightened my spirits on countless occasions and made me cry, smile, and laugh. Im grateful to your foster family who failed and became your forever family and that they let us have a chance to see you living the good life. The life you should have had all along. Thanks Tyson for being such a life force and thanks to everyone who fought for your life when you barely could! 💕🌈🐾

Tyson, I truly loved you, despite having never actually met you. I followed your story and was so happy to see you progress and be able to enjoy life as you always should have been able to. You can rest comfortably at the feet of our Lord now. One day I shall meet you in Heaven. ❤️

I'm so sorry. Have said many prayers for Tyson over the years. So happy he was in such a loving home. ((Hugs)) to you ALL 😢💙💔

Tyson, you'll never know how many Hearts you touched. I'm thankful you knew Love. My deepest condolences to your Family. I will carry you in my Heart. Rest easy in the arms of Saint Francis ❤💔❤

From the moment you walked into all of our hearts you were loved by everyone. You will be missed. Forever Team Tyson.

Thank you for coming into our lives and teaching us that no matter what happens, we have to fight. U were so loved sweet boy. 💜 U have a piece of my heart forever. Always #teamtyson #tysonstrong

Tyson we all loved you so much, you inspired us all. Go gently over the bridge and Rest In Peace. We all loved you so much. Especially your Mom. For the last time Stay Strong Tyson and God Bless you. Your friend❤️🐾

Tyson, our first glimpse into the brutality of your early life made us angry, outraged and unbearably sad. But through your strength and determination and the love and care of many, many people, those feelings were displaced by hope, optimism, happiness and gratitude. Your story is an inspiration and a bright light in the darkness of so much needless suffering. You're amazing. You're a champion. You won the hearts of so very many people who were never lucky enough to meet you, myself included. I'm proud to have followed your story and to have supported you. I'm happy that you were blessed with a loving home. And I hope to meet you someday. Rest easy, big guy. #TeamTyson #TysonStrong

Oh Tyson! You experienced the best and worst of human nature! Broke my heart and made my blood boil to hear your story but so happy for you that you got to experience life to the fullest in your more mature years. I'm laughing thinking about all the posts of you hiding food, taking trips with your loving, patient family. You gave them as much joy and love as they gave you. Rest easy big guy, I know your making friends and continuing your journey. Thank you for reminding me of the beautiful depth of love and devotion.

🐾 I watched Tyson from day 1,!he was a fighter. My 💔is broken I looked forward to seeing his pictures. Thank you to everyone that had a hand in making his last 3 years the best he has ever known. To Tyson’s mom and dad that spoiled him rotten I am so sorry for your loss. I will forever remember his story😢.

Ohh Tyson, I never thought I could love an animal I never met so much. I fell head over heels for you the moment I saw you. You’re story changed my life forever, because of you I discovered PFP and I now have two amazing pups that I adopted. It sucks that after all you went through you had to get cancer but I know your family gave you the best life ever and I am so thankful for them. You will never ever be forgotten. You will remain in my heart always and forever, I love you so much. RIP, enjoy rainbow bridge with all our other loved ones that have passed on as well.

I will never forget all the many things Tyson taught us. But most of all love! He allowed us to love him in order to teach us its great power. Rest now Mr Tyson. You deserve it.

Tyson, The Mutts of Mayhem and I followed your journey from the beginning and now we must say goodbye. But goodbyes are not forever, only a ripple in time. Some day we will all be reunited for eternity, you, your mama Stephanie, all the folks at PFP and all of your followers. You overcame so many odds to show your abusers that love is stronger. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. Damn cancer. I'll share the video The Mutts did for you so those who don't know your story can share your transormation. We will always love and remember you Tyson. 💗💔🐾 https://youtu.be/YSyqToW_U08

Tyson we fell in love with you from afar and worried right along with your foster Mom that you wouldn't get bloat from all your little meals as you fought to get well when you were 1st rescued. We have thought about you a d wondered how your life had changed for the better since then. We may have never touched you in person but you touched our hearts that 1st day we say you several years ago and just last week a memory came across my Facebook on a post about you and we wondered how you were doing. Broke our hearts to find out you were gone, cancer suck! I find peace knowing you're waiting and playing with a health whole body in the warm grass by the Rainbow bridge for your Mom Stephie Ann to arrive someday, so you all can cross together. Rest well sweet prince #TeamTyson #TysonStrong With ((hugs)) from our pack family in Alaska to you Stephie Ann sorry very for your loss.

Oh Tyson, you left a paw print on the hearts of so many. I’ll never forget meeting you at a fundraiser and will forever wear the Tyson Strong shirt with your handsome face on it. RIP handsome boy and someday you will be reunited with your beautiful owner who loved you and took care of you the last few years.

Oh no......I am crying so hard right now seeing this, I feel sick to my stomach. I followed Tyson’s journey from the first article posted about him on FB, and was my first encounter and donation to Providing For Paws. I took so much joy in seeing him loving his new life. After all this extraordinary boy went through to stay alive, he deserved much more time of the wonderful life he finally found. I guess the fact that he ultimately knew what great love was and how life should be in his last three years right to his last minute, is indeed something to help deal with the sadness. Bless you Tyson and RIP...........

Oh Tyson, When I first saw you picture I cried. I knew that you had suffered horribly and I cried for you. I don't understand some people. And then I watched you blossom, and I shared your story with my friends. I felt proud for how strong and determined you were to show the world that you were going to make it! I laughed when you went home - when you were "stuck" at the kitchen table … when you stole the marshmallows to bury them ...and when your mama dressed you up in silly costumes. Those were great moments that showed your personality. I'm happy that you've know love, kindness and warmth the past few years. You've shown the world what true love really is Tyson. You lived up to your name. Fly High Sweet Boy! You will be missed <3

Dear Sweet Tyson...You taught us all to never give up and that even though there is evil in this world, love prevails. May you rest easy now and know that you were loved by many and will be missed by all.

Oh, this breaks my heart...yet, I take enormous comfort in knowing how dearly Tyson was loved and spoiled while he was in your devoted care. He finally knew what love was all about. Thank you for loving Tyson and sharing your journey with us. My prayers are with you! ❤️🙏 Run free, Ty Ty! #TYSONSTRONG

Dear sweet Tyson. You fought the good fight baby. You went over the Rainbow Bridge having been loved and loving in return. We will never forget you.

Tyson You were the reason I started following Providing for Paws and you were the inspiration for me taking a chance and adopting Titan. Run free sweet boy ❤️ Everyone fell in love with you. I’m so happy you lived your last years in a loving home ❤️❤️❤️❤️

From that freezing dark night a skeletal Tyson found the strength to wobble up to his rescuer(s), to the endless days in intensive care, watching on Facebook and praying each night that he would still be alive the next morning, this boy took hold of so many lives and hearts. Thank you to all who saved, cared for and loved him. I wish I could have contributed a few in-person belly rubs in addition to my heart, which he held from moment one to today and beyond. To his family, thank you, thank you, thank you for all you gave him and all the love he knew those last years.

Tyson hit home for me. As I grew up in River Rouge. I saw the Faceboik post just after it published. I couldnt believe it. I immediately went to my husband to tell him I was about to make my 1st ever donation to help. It would soon be one of many and I continue today. I followed his story daily. I even found my husband asking "Any update on Tyson today?" or "have you checked on Tyson today?" And when I left for work, "I would say "Tyson Strong!" His miraculous recovery lead me to keeping up with other cases and many donations. I will never stop donating. His Legacy and Strength Lives . . .
