Best
Place to Bury a Dog
By
Ben Hur Lampman
from the Portland Oregonian Sept. 11, 1925
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."
This is one of many good poems and
stories I found
at
The Rainbow Bridge. |
