Mr. Magoo
A Tale of Love, Trust, and Living in the Moment.
Mr. Magoo's journey began on the streets, alone, deaf, and blind—a heartbreaking testament to the cruelty of abandonment. It was fate that led me to discover him on the Luna Foundation's Facebook page, a frail soul in need of love and care.
​
During a Reiki class, Mr. Magoo lingered in my thoughts, his presence refusing to fade. In that moment, I knew he was meant to be a part of my life. I reached out to the Luna Foundation, offering to foster him, eager to provide him with the love and comfort he so desperately deserved.
​
From the moment Mr. Magoo entered my home, his gentle spirit captivated my heart. Despite his disabilities, he trusted me implicitly, allowing me to tend to his every need with patience and love. It was remarkable how quickly he came to trust me, allowing me to clean his eyes and ears without hesitation.
​
In the beginning, a gentle stroke on his head filled him with apprehension, but as time passed, he learned to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of affection. One of the happiest moments was when he began to wag his tail upon sensing my presence, a small but significant gesture of trust and happiness.
​
Mr. Magoo taught me invaluable lessons about life—about living in the present moment, finding joy in the face of adversity, and embracing the unconditional love of a furry friend. Despite the challenges he faced, he remained a source of light and inspiration, his resilience a testament to the indomitable spirit of dogs.
​
Sadly, Mr. Magoo's time with me was brief. Suddenly, illness struck, and despite our best efforts, there was nothing more we could do. With heavy hearts, we made the difficult decision to let him go, knowing that he would find peace and comfort in the arms of angels.
​
Before Mr. Magoo passed away, I shared Reiki energy with him at the vet. It was such a beautiful experience. You can read my experience here.

Though Mr. Magoo's physical presence may be gone, his spirit lives on in the memories we cherish and the lessons he taught us. He will always hold a special place in my heart, a beloved friend who touched my life in ways I will never forget.
