Tidus’ Memoir

He will be forever in our hearts.

He was our “Honey Bear Tidus”, our “Boddee Bear”, the “King of the Tundra!”

It has been a very difficult 2021, but losing our dearest Tidus has been one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to endure. While he rests peacefully in his final resting place, this page will become a special place for all of us to honor Tidus and the beautiful memories we had with him.

Our lives merged with you
When we were afraid you’d be discarded
Your eyes weren’t blue
You were smaller and shy
So they put you on “sale”
Unprepared, but with a heart full of love
We took you home

You were a baby
Unfamiliar with the modern human life
So we began to show you the ropes
How to navigate this human world
We gave you the confidence
To grow up to be our big bear
And gave you the peace to let go
As we mentored you in your young years

Over time it all transformed…
You became our mentor and best friend
You pulled us deeper into nature
Where we all belong

You guided us to understand
The value of living a calm life
You showed us to trust our instincts
And you mentored us every day
The value of just being. In silence.
Just observing. In serenity and in the moment.

You became our equal
And chosen family
You began something so life-changing
For us and for so many around the world
You became a powerful force of inspiration
And deeply touched so many hearts
To live a more fulfilling and deeply connected life.

You were the most gentle soul we’ve ever known
And the most fierce protector of our family
You gave us endless love
And held our pack together with incredible warmth
You kissed away our tears
When things were difficult
You brought us so much laughter
And filled our hearts with so much passion for life
Your warm honey soulful eyes
Made our hearts glow with so much love
And your intelligence was beyond our comprehension

You will forever be deeply loved
Forever be missed
By your furry siblings
And by your Papa and Mama Wolf
Life will never be the same without you
You took all of our hearts with you
And someday, we will all reunite again
In infinite forests, mountains, and meadows

Until then …
Rest peacefully sweet bear
Frolic in magical snow
Wade in sparkling creeks
Meander in lush cool forests
And sing your warm soulful howls

This is not goodbye
Your sprit is with us on every trail
Every mountain
Every forest
Every waterfall
And every place we are
Until we get to meet again
We’ll forever be grateful
For the years we had with you here
And for the infinite love we share
We love you forever sweet bear Tidus

Tidus, we enjoyed watching all of your adventures & the way you loved your family, your beautiful big brown eyes were always so full of love.
My son (aged 11) is heartbroken that he won’t get to watch you anymore, he always sat on the sofa with our huskies & enjoyed watching you having fun BUT he knows that you’ll live on through your amazing squad who we will continue to watch/support.

Jc & Vee my heart goes out to you, your heartbreak is so evident in your latest video, we cried SO many tears watching you.
We are sending you love, positivity & motivation to continue.
Tidus would want his squad to be strong, to continue the amazing adventures & to live on so that he can live on through all of you.

Keep shining beautiful Tidus, you will never be forgotten…

Stay strong husky squad.

Much love

I’ve had an affinity for huskies since our Dante came into our lives in 2012. We were his fourth home and we’d already rescued a dog several years before, but I wasn’t about to let him suffer anymore. He was the most loveable, loyal, wonderful companion and I love him deeply. We had only four years with him, but they were the best years. Because I missed him so much, I started following husky accounts and found all of you just two years ago. Watching how the three of them play together, talk to one another, and howl that sweet familiar sound made me feel closer to my husky. Tidus was a beautiful loving dog. The way he always wanted more cuddles, reminded me of my own. I may be biased, having an affinity for male dogs, but he was so special. Your entire squad will grieve for longer than you’d like, but he will be with you forever–in your hearts and deep in your bones. Rest in peace, sweet boy.

I first started following Husky Squad on Instagram years ago and I always admired how Tidus was the senior dog in the bunch but he was so gentle and strong and a mama’s boy lol I hope Tidus finds my Bella over that rainbow bridge and he gets to be that playful pup all over again.
RIP beautiful boy 🙏🌈

Inspire. This is the word i would use to describe how he touched our lives. You always talked about how he was the runt and how he went on to do great things. Our husky Yukon was also the runt of his litter and he has grown to be a big snuggle bug. My husband and I call him couch potato. but watching Tidus in your videos do amazing things it give us a desire to want Yukon to do amazing things and live a great life just like Tidus. Both my husband and I and our two husky’s Aika and Yukon are so sorry for your loss. We send our prayers to you and your fur babies. Thank you for sharing a snippet of his life through your videos.

You will be missed so so much! Thank you for teaching me that I need to make my dog’s life better than what it is now. He helped convince me that I need to put them on a raw food diet, so they can live as long as he lived. I need to take them hiking and adventuring now. Thank you so much Tidus and the Husky Squad for showing me the life my dogs need!

Our almost 13 year old husky passed away on May 30th. Tidus and the squad reminded us that huskies are the greatest gift even if we never feel we have enough time with them.

Tidus’s warm and sweet energy shines through brightly in every video and photo you have ever posted of him. Though we may not have personally known Tidus, he feels like a part of our pack, and our hearts. Our hearts go out to you. So much love to your family.

Here is a poem in memory for Tidus

Forever in your hearts

There are times life seems so unfair,
There are times you feel you don’t care.
One moment he is here,
the next he is gone.

But forever in your hearts he’ll be
forever in your hearts he’ll be.

In life you never know from day to day,
We cherish it in every single way.
All the joy and laughter he gave,
are now cherished memories that he made.

But forever in your hearts he’ll be
forever in your hearts he’ll be.

Its hard to understand why such things can be,
why oh why its so hard to see.
The love in his heart,
too soon to be gone.

But forever in your hearts he’ll be
forever in your hearts he’ll be.

He touched me because he was a wonderful, docile, smart, handsome, obedient, adventurous, loving, fun boy. I will greatly miss Tidus. I do know he is having fun with the many pups I have lost…..they are all running over the beautiful rolling hills adorned with flowers and trees and a beautiful lake. Thank you for making us a part of this…….. God Bless

Tidus reached into the unknown and took all of us with him. His warmth and loving character will ever be etched on all our hearts.

Love. Love is the thing, the word, that I feel when I think of sweet Tidus. Not only was he deeply cherished and loved by his humans, his brother and sisters, but he was, he STILL IS love. And we all feel it, we feel your life energy and powerful love Tidus ❤️ Thank you for touching our lives, for being the best example of gentle strength for our pack to look up to. There’s no doubt in our minds that you lived the most fulfilled, present, life next to your mama and papa wolf. I couldn’t be more relieved you were given them for this life experience, you deserved them and they you. The love, the bond between your family, changed our families, and so many more lives, forever. Tidus, you are a legacy of love that will continue to live on eternally. We know you are resting deeply, and you deserve it after all the life changing work you’ve done here ❤️ We love you, and your family so much. Rest peacefully.
Love your long distance family,

Watching Tidus brought me so much joy and I’m he’ll be so missed. He will always have a place in our hearts and our husky home. Run free beautiful boy ❤️

Tidus will always be remembered. I love his ability to swim in the water and went on adventures with his fur siblings and hoomans. He was a cute husky. I miss him dearly. Love you Tidus.

We will love and remember you forever bear. Every time Miska pushes her squeaky toys with her nose we will think of you and maybe send of video of it to your mama and papa. When the snow first falls here in Minnesota this coming winter I will take Miska out and we will run around in it for you! While you may of been the runt it was clear through videos you had the biggest heart and were totally a mommas boy. My daughters favorite video is of the squad walking through the French alps where you pass the cows and make noises at the mountain goats. ☺️ I will show her that video later in life when she’s older and remind her how much she loved to dance to the music and say “squad” I will also show her which one you are and tell her how we came to discover the husky squad. While your physically gone your spirit will always remain here with your family and with all of us that got to watch you explore the world. Our Miska slightly tore her ACL last year and thanks to your strength and the way your momma and papa helped you through your injuries we were able to care for our Pup and will never put her through surgery if it ever does fully tear. Your the best Tidus. 🐻❤️❤️

I enjoyed how Tidus was always so happy on the trails. He reminded me of my dog Everest’s s love for the great outdoors. Also I loved how he was so cuddly like my dog Denali. I feel almost in a way that I lost a dog myself. He will missed but not forgotten.

Tundra King Tidus, we will miss you terribly but are so honored and grateful to have had you as a part of our lives. You touched and melted our hearts with your Teddy Bear coat and handsome face! You made a forever impression on our soul with your strong warrior spirit in all that you accomplished. Your love of nature and respect for all living things shone in those beautiful eyes that your precious Mama and Papa wolf recognized as being priceless. We love you so much buddy! May your spirit soar always and may your howl be heard among the winds forever. Run, howl and ride the wind precious Tidus. All of our love rides with you.

Tidus’s journey on Husky Squad has completely changed the relationship I have with my dogs. Seeing his story has influenced me to switch my fur babies to a raw food diet after following your online course. The bond you share with your animals is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Tidus was a loving, protective, and highly aware soul and I can’t thank your family enough for sharing him with us. His memory and legacy will live on in your hearts as well as in the hearts of all those who have followed his journey.
– Christa 🕯

The day the husky squad walked through the doors at woof and trusted me with Tidus care of rehabilitating his leg will forever be one of my best memories! He was such a sweet boy and will always have a special place in my heart! I am sure my tidus bear is running through the fields of heaven and I hope that I get to see him on the other side of that rainbow bridge. To Victoria and JC I know you guys are hurting and this is so very difficult but I know that tidus is happy and can’t wait to see you guys at heavens gates 🐾 we love you so much!
– Minet 🕯

Dear Tidus, you don’t know me but I just wanted to let you know that seeing you in the Husky Squad’s videos made me so so happy! You reminded me so much of my own husky bear who I lost five years ago. It took a long time to heal that wound. A heart of gold he had, just like you, and he was very intelligent and wise. I admired you so much when you were working so hard at revalidation from your ACL injury, I was so so proud of you when I saw you in that aqua trainer at the therapist. You fully recovered and went back on the trails again with your girls and JC & Vee. I enjoyed seeing you so happy in the snow. So many adventures and good times! I love you Tidus, thank you for the joy you have given me watching your videos. I could feel your love and your spirit through the screen! You were amazing and you made the world better just by being in it. Run free my dear. Sending you my love and light.
– Bianca 🕯

I am not really good at writing but I will try.

Resilience would be my word to describe this beautiful boy. He has the most amazing parents to help him through it all. Always so beautiful to watch him love his life wild and free.

I am really going to miss him so i can only imagine what it is like for you all.
I still miss my boy daily and it will be 3 years. they take a piece of your heart when they go 🙁

So broken hearted my heart aches
on the sad heartbreaking news of your baby bear Tidus . A beautiful pup loved by everyone . Those beautiful eyes and he’s courageous character was a beauty to be part of with all of your trails hikes and adventures .
So much love ❤️ you gave him each and every day so when tomorrow starts without him don’t think he’s far apart for every time you think of him he’s right inside your hearts 💕
So much love to Husky squad victoria Jc 🕯 ❤️❤️❤️

Seeing the way you two and the pack mates all cared for each other taught me and I would hope taught us all that, even in dark times, it is our bonds and love that matter and drive us forward. Tidus was always so joyful for his adventures and I think we can all learn from that.

Tidus was inspirational. He showed us we’re all special and no one should be discarded. He showed us his gentle goofy ways. He showed us a different path to healing from ACL, one we never even knew to exist, and had we known this we may not have done the TPLO on our girl which led to many further complications and her eventual loss. Tidus, his sisters, brother, and parents, are all inspiring, you all touch our lives. Tidus, thanks for sharing your journey with us, we may not be able to see the rest of your journey, but we’re always there with you and you with us. Run in peace dear Tidus.
– Lyn 🕯

I’ve been following your page for many years. Both mine and my dad’s favorite type of dog was always a husky.. when my dad passed away last year a husky became available named Angel and I knew that he had sent her to me. From watching all your videos and learning your kibble to raw classes I also knew Angel needed a friend bc they are truly pack dogs. I named my boy husky Hendrix after one of mind and my dad’s favourite rock stars.

Tidus was so lucky to have you as parents and he inspired me and many others to go on crazy adventures with our fur babies and give them a life worth living. I believe that once Nikolai came into the picture he knew that the girls would be taken care of and that he would keep an eye out for them. My dad’s name was Nicholas… Maybe he sent you nikolai as your angel as he knew how much I admired your dogs and your love for them.

We love you so much and sending so many hugs.

Love always,
– Steph, Angel, and Hendrix 🕯

Tidus, you brought me joy through your adventures. And in the process you and your family help me through the loss of my Jessie. Thank you for helping me find the joy in life again. Your beautiful contribution to the world. Your heart, spirit and courage to live life to the fullest every day. I love and miss you always.

May be you will see my Jessie and she can take your paw in thanks for helping her Mom through her heart own break.

“When a Siberian Husky makes the journey north of the Rainbow Bridge, they receive a silver harness. On those nights when the stars shine brightly, the reflections of their beautiful harnesses create what we call the “Northern Lights”. There they frolic in the fresh snow, waiting for the day when they are reunited with us forever.” Tidus, you were a bright light here on Earth and will continue to be a bright star both. RIP beautiful boy.

Tidus was love at first sight…He had the most tender and expressive face… How much love you always shared with us Tidus! You knew always how to melt our hearts, I will always be thankful for all the great moments you made me feel, lots of laughs watching you playing with your push push toy, swimming as you where a fish in other life, doing the lover play game with Kimahri… Oh those moments, even when your handsome new brother came, you were a gentleman sharing girlfriend with him. And your family Tidus? oh the are all awesome, you lived a dream with them…

You were and always will be a special soul, I’m sure you will keep sharing all that love with all of us but now from other place in other ways, your family chose the best place to rest with all the things you love, close to your family and nature, now you will be part of that nature that you enjoyed all your live, I will always remember your sweet and happy face, I send my warmest hurt from my deepest soul and love to you… You will always live in your family hearts and also in all of our hearts too.

The king of tundra, sweet bear, the brightest star in the sky… We will always love you… ♥

Dear Tidus and Husky Squad,

I’ve just started watching your amazing family adventures and I immediately fell in love with you all, but especially with Tidus…
… such a wonderful soul…
I’ve just got to know you, and you are gone…
Tidus… run happy and free on the eternal fields.
Love you <3
– Krisztina 🕯

Tidus had the sweetest and most innocent face…so trusting and so loving, it was all right there–a bigger, Husky version of my Dachshund, Zidi. Tidus melted my heart from the first moment I found you guys…I could tell he was a special, wonderful companion and that he was so lucky to enjoy such a wonderful life with you and the squad. Even from afar I truly loved and adored Tidus, and I wish you guys all the love and sympathy I can. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this with you and your animal family.

Love,
– Jet & Zidi 🕯

I have been following your journey for more than 3 years now! Since our husky Jaxx has joined our family in 2018, I have been watching all of your videos! Tidus and his sweet soul, free and playful spirit have always resembled our husky Jaxx the most out of the squad! When you talked about Tidus’ snow angels, I could immediately make a connection between the two. It sounded like they would have been kindred spirits if they ever met. Hearing you talk about the joy and happiness he brought, makes my heart go warm and my eyes water. When I heard about the news, I started crying and as if he knew, Jaxx came to me, comforted me and acted with so much compassion and love, I thought about how much love Tidus was surrounded by at any time.
I am so sorry for your loss Victoria and JC, the memoir you are planning for sweet bear Tidus is absolutely lovely!
Jaxx and I are sending you all the love and strength!
With love from Germany,
– Lina 🕯

My heart is heavy and broken hearing this news. Watching this beautiful tribute to such a special being that has been a part of my life for years now brought so many tears to my eyes. I have been following the squad since I became a husky wolf mama myself over 4 years ago. The squad has brought joy to my life, and they have taught me so much—each of them individually with their unique and different personalities and looks, and together as a strong, amazing wolfpack. Tidus bear grabbed my heart by the strings a few years ago.. his eyes so big and confident, calm and strong.. there was always something about him to me that stuck out from the squad in the most comforting way. My heart, thoughts, prayers and condolences are being sent to the squad and Mama and Papa Wolf. Tidus Bear had the most incredible life and he will forever watch over you guys, while he lives on doing what he does best as one of the most strongest, smartest and most handsome bears I have ever seen 🐻💔🙏🏼
