Endal Dies
Allen and Sandra Parton have today announced the sad death of ENDAL, their beloved Labrador, who has died at the age of 13. Endal was voted Dog of the Millennium and given both a PDSA Gold Award and a Gold Blue Peter badge for his devotion to wheelchair-bound Allen who was seriously injured while serving in the Gulf War. He became a media favourite after being photographed by a national newspaper helping Allen use a cashpoint machine.
The extraordinary story of how ENDAL came into Allen’s life and gave him a reason to live again was told just last night in a Sky Real Lives documentary entitled ‘The Dog That Saved Our Marriage’ and in the book ENDAL published last month by HarperTrue. ENDAL made his last public appearance on Saturday at Crufts where he accompanied Allen and Sandra to a book signing.
Allen Parton said, ‘The world will be a sadder place without Endal. He devoted his life to me and for that I will always be grateful. He was a dog in a million.’
Endal won the first ever Coolest Canine competition (hosted by K9 Media Ltd) and made a positive impression on those who were fortunate to meet him.
Ryan O’Meara, editor of K9 Magazine:
“I was lucky enough to meet Endal and as a big Labrador fan I think it would be impossible not to have great admiration and respect for such a life changing dog. There is no doubt he will be sorely missed.”
