Michou’s precious life was cut short due to Corporate Pet food’s negligence and greediness. Michou survived his death sentence from the Emergency vet, the first time he got suddenly ill (Feb. 2007). He recovered with Ginseng & home cooked diet ! However, since the recalls were not announced until later, AND never included the dry biscuits, Michou was repeatedly poisonned with the food he loved. He finally gave in 2 months later (April 18, 2007). Michou charisma promoted canine companionship everywhere he went. His picture took half page of the Austin Newspaper in 2005 when he attended dogs event to support charities. Michou also successfully campaigned for Pet-friendly businesses to allow dogs on outdoors seating. His pictures were captured by thousands as they called him the Hollywood dog in blue sunglasses [ 2001 - 2007 ]

Your video made me cry, too. I don’t think I’ll be able to hear that song without feeling sad now. heh. Sorry for your loss.
R.I.P FROM TAMMY…THE MALTESE
Bless his heart,<3<3
Yes, it is horrible, and these stories repeated every 10-20 years, since the Pet food industry successfully brainwashed people into using processed pet food (starting about 50 years ago). People are quick to forget, and new generations dogs owners probably never heard about it. It does not take much to feed a dog with real food. They live longer and less trip to the Vet.
I own a shiba inu hes a mans best friend wouldnt know what to do if he died, sorry for your lost
Aww I cried for hours after this video
That is the most horbilest way for your dog to die. I can never ever think what it would be like for my babay to die

i am so sorry for your loss. losing my cat to the tainted pet food has been such a hard thing to deal with…
So sad!! I work for a veterinary hospital, and saw too many of these casualties due to the pet food recalls. Being a multi pet owner and lover I share in your grief and mourn your loss, along with the loss of many other treasured friends.
I’m sorry to hear about the lost of your beloved pet. People should stop supporting the dog food industry and start taking time the out to feed their loving pets natural food products as in cooking the food yourself. The dog food industries are nothing more than liars and crooks!
if that happen to me i would find those pet food people and kill them!!!!
I defiantly cried.
Sorry, sorry. Couldn’t watch video completely because it makes me cry. Your dog was so adorable.
I felt devastated for all of you pet owners who went through these hard times.
Boycott China. They want to make money on everybody at all costs and have no ethics.
And please: COOK FOR YOUR DOGS. It takes time but it’s a question of organization and they deserve it. My dog eats boiled chicken breasts, rice, carrots. What they put into those prepared dog meals is crap.
The end was so touching! And I pray they are really waiting! Made me cry! Mitchou was so trusting and cute and Faithful! Damn Pet food companies! Peace and Good Jer
I love your dog and i shall cry with you as anyone who is watching this vid. all over the world people should understand what you have been through either they been it or not but they seen you love your dog and hopely open up for some willingness to some how to stop this food poisoning, im to young to do something about this but i bet alot of adults who seen this is gonna deal with this…..hopely
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet Michou. Thank you for posting your story. I believe speaking out brings attention to this tragic situation and these negligent companies are less likely to act as if nothing happened. I lost my cat due to the tainted food too. My heart goes out to you.
“Dearest Michou, You have made me laugh and smile – and cry. So much love and “pureness” – that is the only word I can think of to describe… Now I see why your expression changed as I painted you. I wanted to add the slightest touch of smugness – “yes, I’m beautiful – yes, my parents love me…” But watching you I see there is not a hint of anything beyond pure love and pure happiness in the moment. How much you have to teach the rest of us. And how I wish I could have met you. Derian “
I’m so sorry for your loss we also lost one our pets to this recall Ranger our 8 month old kitten and the worst part was my boyfriend bought him special kitty as a treat because he loved him so much. Thankfully our other cat Shyanne was not affected. We have taken Ranger’s sister Sophie and a needy kitten named Oreo.

Dear Alice and Philip,
You must be devasted. I am so sorry for the pain and suffering that Michou and yourselves had to go through on account of some corporations thoughlessness. I would not know what to do with myself if I lost my Buddy in that way. My heart goes out to you.
I wish I could have met your baby. My hat off to him for paving the way for all dogs the right to accompany their parents out for a nights entertainment.
Lila Witt and Buddy Love
