Maggie - January 09, 2016
Pittston
Maggie, beloved dog of the Ruane and Mudlock families, passed away unexpectedly Saturday evening. She would have celebrated her 10th birthday on January 28th.
Maggie was loved by everyone who knew her, and she was affectionally known to many as Pittston's dog. Maggie served many years as a comfort dog for the funeral home, was a caretaker and constant companion to Sox, Mary, and Laura, and spent many hours at the Pittston Ambulance and Firehouse.
In 2008, she was awarded the Hero of the Year Award by Geisinger after she saved Sox's life. In the future, she will be added to the mural in Pittston in the window next to Sox.

Maggie was the very best dog, although she was always treated like a human. I will miss her a lot. My condolences to Laura and Aunt Mary. I know how much she meant to both of you. She surely is with Uncle Jimmy now.
