Read your post on Facebook. Watched the video and Jeanice and I walked around choked up and Teary. Sorry for your loss Mark, pets are hard to see pass and Duke was special to all of us.

Sorry to hear this.  Duke will certainly live on in my memory even though i never met him.

Looking at a pic or vid of him never failed to make me smile.

To me the joy that is in a dog is best expressed by those lucky dogs hanging their head out the car window.

Sorry. I had just read about Duke's 100th video and really enjoyed all of the videos you took. I always marveled at the places you went, some if not most of them I had been to but not with such a good traveling companion as you had.

RIP, Duke. May we meet some day where there's all good roads and good weather....

Sorry for your loss.  Had to call my dog over and hug her for a couple of minutes.

 I'm so sorry to hear of Duke's passing. I have always enjoyed the stories and videos of your travels together. We have 3 dogs of our own (including my Australian Shepard named Duke) and have experienced the loss of others over the years. It's never easy, but remember all the smiles and the unconditional love they always give.

I'm so sorry to hear about Duke's passing.  :(

It was always a treat when visiting this site to see pictures of him out riding. That was a wonderful video you made and posted. It had a hauntingly beautiful song, would you mind if I asked who was it?

Thanks again everyone, it helps to know how many people loved him. The song in the vid is Laura Shay, a talented young gal in Pa, whos music carrer is more of a hobby. I contacted her on FB and showed her the vids I have made with her songs, she gave the thumbs up
THe Duke was KING!

I shared your video with my brother. He lost his Bichon, Mr. Peabody a couple of years ago and still misses him. Oh, and thanks for the tip on Laura Shay. She just gained a new fan!

As Duke put countless smiles on peoples faces, I'm glad I put some smiles on his face!

I don't stop by here very often anymore, for I have sold my Concours and bought a KLR.

I am so sorry, and genuinely sad to read this. I'm certain Duke has put smiles on many faces over the years, including mine, as I have followed your adventures here on the forum.

I remember when you aquired Duke (from a family member if I recall correctly), and I have always thought how lucky he was to end up with you.

Although I know you are hurting, you need to remember the good times you had with Duke, and feel good about yourself for giving him such a great home, and a lot of great times.

My wife and I lost our 2 best friends in 2012, losing Shakespeare was, by far, the worst day of my life. My wife is also familiar with your adventures with Duke, I will wait until tonight to tell her this bad news, for I know it will upset her (esp since your Duke looks so much like her Chloe) , and I don't want to do that to her while she's at work.

Time will help ease the pain some, but I still miss Shakespeare terribly, and he passed away May 4th, the day before his 5th birthday.

I sincerely hope you find another deserving friend to share your 2 wheeled adventures with.

I wish you the best in 2013........Dan

I'm so sorry, I remember Duke from quite a few years ago and love to read your posts and look at his pictures. He was a mascot of the Concours world. He'll be waiting for you just over the rainbow bridge.
