On December 28th, 2022, 17-year-old, Maltese, Aldo Stirling, aka “Woodie, Alderwood, Killer” crossed Rainbow Bridge. Woodie was adopted in East Providence, Rhode Island by “pet parents” Rob and Maria Stirling. Besides his parents, Aldo is survived by sibling and best friend Bentley. His favorite toy was any toy that Bentley didn’t have. Aldo’s favorite activities included hikes, walks in the neighborhood, chasing Bentley, giving his mom attitude and car rides in the front seat. His least favorite things were baths and car rides in the back seat. Aldo’s favorite place to nap was in the yard sunbathing. His favorite foods consisted of ANYTHING on his parent’s plates. “Aldo Stirling, aka; Woodie, lived an incredible life full of adventure, joy and love. Ten pounds of fluff with 200 pounds of attitude. While someday his entire story will be published, we would be remised in not mentioning he was a black operative for the government, undefeated in pit fighting and always lived his life on his own terms. He saved the life of his fur mommy when she absolutely needed someone to provide her with unconditional love and worked countless hours with his fur dad once his dad joined the family, to sharpen his skills as a fierce killer and pit fighter. While he has crossed over the rainbow bridge, he will live on forever in our hearts. Rest in Peace killer, you have earned it.”
