Ryuzaki- the almost-service dragon (picture heavy)

This morning the world lost a dear young dragon. Ryuzaki was only a year and a half old when she died in her sleep. She was born on valentines day which was perfect because she held so much love in her heart for everyone. Because of her gentle temperment and overflowing love, Zaki was training to become a reading service animal. She especially loved children. Zaki was a cuddler and she passed away asleep next to her daddy whom she loved more than even crickets. While no one knows how or why Zaki was taken so suddenly, we do know that her short time on this earth changed the minds of many people about how they look at lizards in general and beardies specifically. Ryuzaki is remembered not only by her father, Lou Schiavo, and myself her mother Michelle Dominisac, but also by her many "aunts" and "uncles" as well as her sister dragon: Embery.

Zaki and her favorite toy: log buddy

Zaki and daddy slept together every night. Every morning this is how I found the two.
