Translation - Unnecessary to say the pain I am feeling now. As to the people who showed I would like to register my appreciation to all who prayed for BOB - I write in portuguese because my english is not good, and I am in no condition to think right now. (romy translate......)
Bob did not represent simply a champion for me and Renata my wife, but - yes a friend and I will go further my best friend, the son that we do not have, the look when he looked at me always showed the love and feeling we had for each other, To those who didnot know he slept in my bed ate at the same time as I and was with me more than my own wife, we were together every weekend when we travelled.
A priceless family member, this will be very difficult to get over.
Since Saturday my life has become a hell,A torture with no precident and no comparison, as a breeder we, unhappily, have losses during the years with our dogs, from illness and oldage, but this has never happened to us. To have our baby, our kid, kidnapped, is brutal and senseless and without equal
It´s difficul to write about this, I am very emotional and do not feel like writing, I would have preferred, (swear to g-d) that one or two fingers would have been torn off and that I had my BOB with me with his happy companionable nature.
On Saturday, after having been awake for more than 24 hours, at about 6 - 8 in the morning I nodded off and had the most wonderful dream with BOB. In the dream he came to me hugged me and licked my face, I said how much I loved him - he continued to lick me and make a fuss of me and I said ´ today you can lick me all you want, because you deserve it, you´re back! (as iff this was happening and I awake) it was only a dream.......the opposite was the reality
I woke - sharply - and beside me on the bed was a slipper that he had, that he always took with him, to play with at night, this made me realise that I had been dreaming and bring back the realization of what was happending and that BOB WAS MISSING, for almost 24 hours. I then became desperate and cried alone in the hotel room, worried that he was easting and drinking, anyway.....we know how defenseless they are.
Today I understand that he was saying goodbye to me!!!!
So many are the words that I would say to BOB if he could hear and feel - I feel him near me and would spend ours showing my care and attention.
Ihave no more words - I am heart sore - those who know me can imagine what I´m going through, too much. Tomorrow we will creamate him, because he will go back to Brazil any which way, for my wife who, for certain, is hurting with this painful thing in our lives, - enough...I´m shocked and down.
To conclude, I must give my thaks for all the prayers from all the dogpeople the world over
Puerto Rico and it´s people were not to blame for what happened, this could happen anywhere in the world, back luck said, that it happened here, distant from my family and home, that made it more difficult
The Puerto Rican people are extraordinary and, for sure, did everything that could have been done, tv, press, and radios. They helped in a way that I never expected
I´M CRYING (ROMY)
BOB, myfriend, my amazing companion, forgive me for not hugging you more, not kissing you more, not playing with you more, you will always be in my heart and will never be forgotton, I loved you so much my friend, youll never know. Iwould have never let anyone hurt you......what happened was a tragedy, The thief had the chance to shoot at me, more than once, and today I would have preferred that this had happened, if you could be with me, my dear (Bob)
To all those that read this, hug your dogs, kiss them, show them you care, never miss the chance to do this. Roberto

I grieve with you today. How sad that we live in such cruel times. Bob's death dimishes us all. I pray that you have peace.
We are all so very sorry. Our hearts ache with you. It could have happened to any of us. But by the grace of God. Sad and scary and we weep with you.
