Animal Ethics

In Tribute

With dignity and gentleness of heart,
my uncommon friend
completed his mission as he saw it.
He came in love, he left in love,
slipping out so softly one could but imagine
a gentle breeze, nothing more.
Behind he leaves a mighty wind,
an expression of unconditional love,
a power to heal the planet earth.

For this beloved friend WAS love.
Total,
joyous,
unconditional love.
Through his eyes one sensed
Truth,
wisdom,
compassion.

Only a dog?
The most treasured of values,
the most tender of passions, my Perro.
May he run forever
on the beaches and trails
of the kingdom beyond.

Woo-ah woo-ooo-ooo!

He greets the morning,
head held high, eyes sparkling,
calling the troops to a day of adventure.
Fleet beauty,
a dance of joy,
sharing time with so many stories to tell.
And then to close the day,
a quiet lift of his head,
from his favorite resting spot at bedside.
With dignity and gentleness of heart,
my uncommon friend said good night.

Good night, my Perro, God bless you.
