He was quite a boy and no doubt a good friend to you too. You can be proud of the quality of life you gave him. I'm sure he had a very good dog's life .. once you rescued him.
If you don't already have another dog I would recommend you get one soon, for a few reasons. First is a new dog would give you a good emo bond to get you through the loss of your old friend. Second your pack is incomplete without a dog in it and there are many dogs out there that would love to claim that niche. Finally you have the capacity to forge good relationships with dogs. Not everyone can. Start with any reasonable dog and you will soon have an exceptional dog because of the relationship you make with it.
Here's to Popeye, one hell of a dog.
