On January 14, 2023, we made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the goodest and worst boy in San Francisco. He passed away peacefully at home, surrounded with the same love and affection we showered him with for the 8 years we had him in our lives.

Ollie, or more properly Sir Oliver Magnus von Clapp, was a dog with a big name that fit his enormous personality. He was also a true “Ollie”–mischievous, hilarious, demanding, and so cute you’d forgive him anything. He was the mayor of our corner of Inner Richmond: He knew every business that would give him treats or affection, was friends with the other dog parents, and made strangers smile every day. He may have been half-Frenchie, but his brain was all Boston Terrier: meaning we always suspected we loved him more than he loved us, but he definitely loved us as long as we were playing, walking, running, moshing, or doing anything else that allowed him to be an athlete.

To our Grumplepuss, Oldmanbaby, and Ollietaco: It was a privilege being your parents. You were the best walking companion, napping buddy, work intern, and co-pilot in the world, and we will always miss you.

And to Dr. Robert Sahaghian and everyone at A Gentle Rest: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving our guy, and us, the best possible experience at such a difficult time. We will always appreciate it and never forget it.
