"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."
--- Ben Hur Lampman ---
Goodbye, dear friend. You can rest easy now and smile down on all of us. Max, you and your momma have touched so many lives, the number is unfathomable. You will be missed and remembered by so many people and so many animals. We love you and thank you for the lessons of life that you have helped show us and also the lessons that you have helped remind us of too. You will forever be in our hearts.
If you get a chance, please go give his mom and family some love and support.
