My little hunting buddy is dead.
He went home for the weekend, and didn't make it back to me.
I tried so hard.

Treydog is dead. I'm broken. I thought I'd found a purpose to help him. I had him over 3 months. I tried so hard to teach him a better life. I dedicated all my time to him, gave him my best of everything, but somehow I still failed.
He went with his mom for the weekend. He was supposed to come home today. We chatted by text several times last evening until I went to bed.
Please pray for my wife.

What do you mean Dead ? What happened ? He liked you. Thanks for letting us visit you. He was visiting his mom this weekend. He had been with her a couple time since we've had him. He somehow got more heroin and died.

Dennis,
I am so sorry to hear this. It sounded like the young man had good potential.
You did what you could, but sometimes when dealing with the addicted it just isn't enough.So, please don't beat yourself up over it. You shared a good time with him and more importantly, you shared the Lord with him.
My sincerest condolences and prayers for peace and comfort for the family and friends.

Loss has never hurt me like this. I've experienced a lot and thought I was numb to it, but this is really hard.
I feel torn inside, empty. I tried so very hard. I still cannot help but think that I could have done more. I could have picked him up last night instead of his mom bringing him back today.
He was still texting me at midnight.

Dennis, I'm very sorry for your loss. You did everything and more in your power to help him move along. You provided him with a lot of new adventures while he was in your care. My thoughts are with you and your family. If you need anything I'm just a little south of you and will be there as soon as I can.

Dennis I am sorry for your loss. I am a social worker with specialization in hospice and grief counseling. I have had a loved one effected by heroin addiction as well. I can tell you first hand that no matter what you did, you tried and while the end result is devastating may you find peace in knowing you gave it all you had and addiction is a horrible disease that ultimately falls on ones self and leaves loved ones in misery. May you find peace in the future as only time can heal. You are in my families prayers and while I have never met you personally I live thru your enthusiasm in what you do posted on here. May God be with your family at this time.

My sincerest condolences, Dennis. I'm here to tell you that there was nothing more that you could have done. Addiction is a powerful demon, and you can't watch someone 24 hours a day and stop them from doing something that they are bound and determined to do. While he may have looked perfectly normal on the outside, there's a good possibility that he was using heroin when he was staying with you.
It is overwhelmingly apparent that you loved him dearly and were 100% dedicated to him. You didn't fail him in the slightest. You were there for him, made him feel loved, showed him the great outdoors, and I'm pretty confident that you had discussions about God with him.
May the Lord wrap His loving arms around him, and may He grant you and your family peace, my friend.

Sounds like he was caught in a vice grip of heroin addiction and was maybe trying to hide it. Don't beat yourself up. You can only do so much.
