A Tribute to the Life of RAJA
The American Mastiff Our Beloved First Mascot
Saint Francis Pet Care’s beloved mascot Raja, the American Mastiff, transitioned to the Rainbow Bridge May 8th, 2021. On May 30th he would have celebrated his 93rd birthday.
Many communities in our region had the privilege to meet Raja in person or on TV and in many newspapers. He served the schools through teaching pet ettiequte to children. He brought love and caring to our nursing home facilities. At our Dog Fun Festivals he lead dog guests into agility activities. He especially liked the tunnel and musical hula hoops. He danced with Maryanne Hoffman, his human companion and trainer, to The Ohio State and the Cleveland Browns football themes for dog lover crowds. He graced many parades throughout the Penn-Ohio area, representing our organization. He was a magnet to especially, children and people of all ages. Most people felt he was the biggest and most adorable dog they had ever seen. A gentle giant he was.
He loved swimming in lakes and pools and dancing the ChaCha with Maryanne. All animals loved Raja. He was known to play with wild turkeys and a special cardinal from when it was a fleshing. He was true to the characteristics of a true Saint Francis dog - kind, compassionate, loving, gentle, respectful and smart. He put a smile on many faces.At Christmas he dressed in his Santa suit and delivered presents to children from his backpack.
His favorite treats were blueberry frozen yogurt, freeze dried liver and all natural dog flavored jerky. He enjoyed going to dog events and many times won dog contests, as the biggest dog or most unusual dog.He loved to play hide and seek and performed many dog tricks and agility. He had a special dog carriage to pull others.
For Halloween Raja and Maryanne were many characters together: Raja was a spider, Maryanne was his web, Raja was superman's dog with a superman doll on his back and Maryanne was Wonder Woman, Raja was a whale and Maryanne was a mermaid, Raja was Santa Dog and Maryanne was an elf or Mrs. Claus. He wore bells and lit up lights for many festivities. He will be immensely missed. Thank you and God bless you, Raja.

Prayer for Animals in Need
Albert Schweitzer (1875- 1965) Theologian and Humanitarian
- Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering: for animals that are over-worked, under-fed and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
Albert Schweitzer (1875- 1965) Theologian and Humanitarian
