    They can

    be

    eccentric,

    slow

    afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out

    their

    final day

    ~

    .

    He

    was

    humility and grace

    we

    all could learn from.

    Not long before his death, Harry and I headed out for a walk that proved

    e \fen

    nearly 13, old for a big dog. Walks were no longer the frenzies of pur. o

    which we would cast madly off in all directions fighting for com r were

    they

    t

    he

    exuberant archaeological expeditions of his middle years,

    wh@ h

    or blade of grass held tantalizing secrets

    about

    his neighbolifs: his old age, Harry had

    transformed his walk into a simple head-down

    r u g

    n finished, he would shuffle

    home to his

    ratty

    old bed, which graced our v ~ b e c u s e Harry could no longer

    ascend the stairs.

    On

    these

    walks, Harry

    seemed

    v

    i o u ~ urro

    undings absorbed in

    the arduous

    responsibility

    of

    placing foot

    e f o r e ~ ~

    B t

    th

    is time on the edge

    of

    a small

    urban

    park,

    he

    stopped to watch something. throwing a frisbee to his dog. The dog, about

    Harry s size was tracking t e expertly, as Harry had once done too. Harry sat fo r 10

    d catch, fling and catch, his face contented, his eyes alight,

    his tail a- twitch. ome was

    almost

    .....

    ...

    jaunty.

    .

    t s no big dealt l f dog; they make it so easy for you. They find you brilliant, even if

    you are a ~ u fascinate them, even if you

    are

    as dull as a butter knife . They are fond

    of you,,. ven 1 .you

    are

    a genocidal maniac. Hitler loved his dogs

    and they

    loved hi

    m.

    t ~ ed with eight dogs, watched six

    of

    them grow old and infirm with grace and

    ~ and die with what seemed to be acceptance. I have seen old dogs grieve

    at

    the loss

    of

    their friends. I have come to believe that

    as they

    age, dogs comprehend

    the

    passage of

    time. They understand

    that

    what s gone is gone.

    In

    our dogs, we see ourselves. Dogs exhibit almost all

    of our

    emotions; if you think a dog

    cannot register envy or pity

    or

    pride

    or

    melancholia, you have never lived with one for any

    length of time.

    What

    dogs lack is our ability

    to

    dissimulate. They

    wear

    h e i r emotions

    nakedly, and so, in watching them,

    we

    see ourselves as

    we

    would be if

    we were

    stripped

    of

    posture and pretence. Their innocence is enormously appealing. When we watch a dog

    become old, frail, crotchety,

    and

    vulnerable, just as Grandma did,

    just

    as

    we

    surely will.

    1len we grieve for them,

    we

    grieve for ourselves.
