It is with great sadness that we report the loss of one of our original contributors to TheDogPlace.org. "Dr. Richard" Theriogenology professor at University Of Georgia, served the dog fancy for generations... |
Reproductive specialist for University Of Georgia, president of the American College of Theriogenologists, Dr. Richard Arthur Fayrer-Hoskin was world renowned for his research and love for elephants.
When Bill and I first went to Atlanta, through referral from my veterinarian, I knew nothing about Dr. Fayrer-Hosken other than that he was "the best" in canine reproduction. During the table exam I mentioned that dogs were my second love only because they were easier to feed than an elephant.
He laughed, looked up, queried me and it was the beginning of a decades-long friendship.
We shared a fascination with and love of elephants. In fact that incredibly intelligent animal is why Dr. Richard donated his services to the world-famous Atlanta zoo. Dr. Fayrer-Hosken was born in Zimbabwe, made regular trips to Africa and often shared photos and tales with me.
Richard's professional curiosity was matched only by the size of his heart. He was in fact, my heart-friend and it is with tears that I update this page. His CV is below but the bad bad bad news is that he passed from this life into a better one on July 4, 2019.
UNGA and other sites report that he was cutting hay, suffered a fatal heart attack and died alone. He was found by a worker hired to help with the laborious task. Knowing Richard's generosity, his goodness and his faith I do not believe he was alone. God was with him.
