    Wow, I would have given you an A+ for this paper although I used up a lot of kleenex reading it....sad, but so true and so beautiful.

    Wow. A+ from all the dogs in the world. For some reason I was picturing the protagonist as a German Shepherd.

    I am totally bawling here (and I'm at work). Crap, I can't stop crying. Damn hormones.
    Very well written. And sadly, so true too often.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    How sad that this plays out everyday. How can it be that some old dogs spend their last days among total strangers instead of the loving arms of their people? I will never understand that. You deserve an A. What a powerful essay.
