THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG
“There is one best place to bury a dog.
“If you bury him in this spot he will
come to you when you call – come to you
over the grim dim frontier of death
and down the well-remembered path
and to your side again.”
“And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel they shall not growl at
him nor resent his coming
for he belongs there.”
“People may scoff at you who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall who hear no whimper people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them for you shall know
something that is hidden from them
and which is well worth the knowing.”
“The one best place to bury a good
dog is in the heart of his master.”
