In Celebration of Old Dogs

This morning, a dog-owner friend I met in Central Park forward an article to me. The excerpt, from The Week, is based on a longer excerpt that originally appeared in The Washington Post and is taken from the book Old Dogs. As far as I’m concerned, the author, Gene Weingarten, is a genius.

If you have an older dog, have ever experienced the death of a pet, or you’re simply a dog lover, it’s definitely worth your time:

Be warned, you may want to keep a box of Kleenex nearby.

Thanks Jen, for passing this along.
