Memories of ‘Dandy’ — the sweetest dog of all

Mary Wakefield Buxton

One thing that every dog owner knows and carries in his brain every day of his life-like stone is the knowledge that one day his precious dog will die.

But somehow we are willing to take on that burden just for the temporary pleasure of sharing the love and joy of having a dog.

My cocker spaniel “Dandy” passed away this month on his 13th birthday. Odd, how I feel he is still with me.
