You definitely made me cry, and I think that's the mark of a d*mn good dog. I've never even met him, and I'm crying because the world is short one beautiful soul of a dog.
You write beautifully Beanie, but I wanted to tell you that even though I cried, your last line made me laugh out loud. Out of sorrow for you, and I don't have a word for it, but it was just, fitting.
