All Good Things Must Come To An End
“As if he had fallen from the sky like a unicorn,” Nick recalled, “was downright laid-back and tolerant from the start.” Romeo had made friends with dogs of many breeds, from border collies to labradors and poodles. Unfortunately, some friendships do not survive forever. Everything eventually comes to an end. For Romeo, Mendenhall Glacier Park was coming to an end. Romeo would follow in his forefather’s footsteps.

All Good Things Must Come To An End
A Tragedy
Romeo was called after a tragic Shakespearean character, and he would meet the same destiny. In 2009, Romeo was sadly shot and killed by fighters. Everyone who lived in Mendenhall Glacier Park mourned the loss of a good friend. Residents of Juneau decided to host a memorial service for Romeo and commissioned a plaque in his honor. For the rest of his life, this lone wolf who became a pack animal will be remembered.
