But 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 frontiers
of death, and down the well remembered path 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.
The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master.
