I don't want to be sentimental but when you see your dog since he was a puppy and after a couple of years then you see him going through old age it just breaks my heart.

My dog will be 10 years old in January, always I see her and the gray hair n her face I have a flashback about all the good moments I had with her like you do in your video.

I'm not crying man haha........ :(

It's a beautiful pet, my friend. 12 years is enough time to love each other. Definitely, whoever has had pets knows what it's like to feel that unconditional love. I love his eyes, I see that he is adorable and loyal. I love dogs too, I have three at home. He continues to enjoy their company for many years to come. Beautiful video, a hug.

Very cute!  Happy birthday to the little one.  Our Jovi turned 11 in August or September.  Very nice shots and awesome work on the video!

Awe! Beautiful post and I love the montage that your wife put together @ericvancewalton!! Amstel is adorable and I wish him a very Happy Birthday!! 💖

That is super cool that your puppy is gotten to travel and then at your side through so much.

Wow, lovely, imagine all those memories in one single video. 12 years is amazing and look at him all dashing, I've not bad a pet before but then it feels so affectionate and he knows he's special for having you both in his life. Having come this far I think it's worth Celebrating.

What lovely memories you put together Eric, Amstel's a very lucky old man to live with the two of you! 
Our Snowy lived to a ripe old age, was a healthy pooch until he had a stroke and died; we never replaced him. He was small but used to find a way out of our property and chase the ladies; often come back torn to shreds by the bigger dogs, and it would be off to the vet to be stitched up, but he always survived! He did not lack courage even though he was so small;) We neutered him soon after the last escapade where we really thought he was not going to make it!
Enjoy your celeb and happy birthday to Amstel:)

Awesome dog, I love dogs too. They are better than people.

What beauty and tenderness, Eric! It made me want to have a pet again. Amstel is such a gentleman. Unquestionably, pets look like their masters. Did you see how cute he looks with your wife and how brave and risky he looks with you?I love it when you two run together . Congratulations to the prince of the house. A hug for the family.

Dogs are definitely man's ( and woman's) best friend. The three of you are very lucky to have each other.
Happy belated birthday big A,
