Kenji, Tikihut class of 2001, exuded and enjoyed life for over 12 yrs. His spirit went past the veil at home Feb. 21, 2012, after a brave 8 month chemo battle with lymphoma. We are eternally grateful for every extra moment we had with him, yet we refused to go past any point where he would suffer. He was always faithful to and ever loved by The Dennis & Julie Tamura family and then his last 8 years The Peter Woulfe family. So sweet and mellow to every dog & human he ever met, yet never a challenge or critter he did not beat. During the day, Alpha dog in Dolores Park, & at night, leader of his pack of roaming canine & human friends in Upper Noe Valley. He walked every part of San Francisco and most of the Bay Area off leash, so obedient he was. Late night North Beach crowds were his favorite and a more beautiful dog the paparazzi did never see. Truly a gift from God was he, helping families cope with many lost loved ones, the loss of his first guardian and the struggle for life of his second guardian. In all losses, sorrows, joys and triumphs, our Buddy was there with his special unconditional love, thanks to the good souls at Tikihut. Please realize how, to so many, so much was given from your life giving work. Thank you forever from the bottom of our hearts. - Pete & Jim Woulfe
