I feel a heaviness in my heart today. The big black and brown dog next door appears to be gone. He was an older fellow, and I fear he has left this life. He spent his days in shackles, and was thin and dirty.
We have had our battles, he and I. Although I have had to drive him from my meadow in the past, I wish him no harm. He was kind to pups, he harmed no person or beast. His was a joyless life, and an ignoble death unworthy of a king.
This and every dog who has ever suffered so deserved better.
Yours in sorrow,
Boo Radley
