A 19 year old lab mix. The elderly owners had very rural accents and said "she was the best darn dog we ever had" through their tears.

There is a book I own that is nothing but found photographs--pictures disconnected from their own place and time. One of the final pictures in the book is a photograph of a tombstone for several horses and a zebra that perished in a circus fire. The epitaph beneath their names reads "We Think They Must Have Souls."
Whenever I see that photo, I think of your blog and the work you do. Whether or not animals have souls, I am sure they have feelings, and that they deserve care, competence, and compassion at the end of their lives. Thank you so much.
