This article is a must-read for everyone in the world who loves dogs.

All dog lovers who have shared their homes, their hearts and their lives with the most loving, loyal and wonderful of four-legged furry best friends will also, at some point, experience the most heartbreaking aspect of adopting a dog.

But just read what Ernest Montague wrote here.

Ernest, who describes himself here on DogFull as a Pit bull owner, wrote this beautiful article and says, โ€œI wrote this several years ago in memory of Bolo, a black and white Pit Bull who would always go for a walk, right up to the day he died.

He might only get 15 feet before he stopped and looked at me and gave me the look: โ€˜I canโ€™t go any further. But donโ€™t you think for one minute Iโ€™m done walking.โ€™โ€

The experience of losing a dog is a universal one for every pet parent. I hope Ernestโ€™s wise words help you, or someone you know, even if just a little.

โ€œSome of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to โ€˜deathโ€™, donโ€™t really understand this. Iโ€™ve had no desire to explain, but wonโ€™t be around forever and must.

Dogs never die. They donโ€™t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they donโ€™t die.

If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say: โ€˜No, no, not a good idea. Letโ€™s not go for a walk.โ€™ Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but thatโ€™s what dogs are. They walk.

Itโ€™s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is.

Cat poop, another dogโ€™s mark, a rotting chicken bone (exultation), and you. Thatโ€™s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.

However, dogs get very very sleepy. Thatโ€™s the thing, you see. They donโ€™t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. Itโ€™s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.

When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and thatโ€™s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest.

Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. Thatโ€™s when they say: โ€˜Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.โ€™

When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and thatโ€™s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, itโ€™s a day full of adventure in an hour.

Then you come home and itโ€™s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)

Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too.

They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and donโ€™t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog.

So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.

But donโ€™t get fooled. They are not โ€˜dead.โ€™ Thereโ€™s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when youโ€™re not expecting it. Itโ€™s just who they are.

I feel sorry for people who donโ€™t have dogs sleeping in their heart. Youโ€™ve missed so much. Excuse me, I have to go cry now.โ€

Thank you, Ernest, for sharing this with us. Bolo was one very lucky Pit Bull.
