Team Werewolf
Bronze Sponsor
In loving memory of Torque.
Torque was a larger than life-a once- neglected puppy who grew into a brilliant, fearless, and fiercely loyal partner. He became a champion dock diver, excelled in every sport, and served as a gifted therapy dog , changing lives with his presence. A natural performer full of mischief and heart, Torque brought laughter, comfort, and protection wherever he went. This memorial honors the unforgettable dog who wasn’t just by my side — he was the whole world to his owner.
