A person can learn a lot from a dog,
even a loopy one like ours.
He taught me about living each day … with unbridled exuberance and joy,
about seizing the moment and following your heart.

He taught me to appreciate the simple things …
a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall,
a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight.
And as he grew old and achy,
he taught me about optimism
in the face of adversity.

Mostly, he taught me about friendship
and selflessness and, above all else,
unwavering loyalty.

The greatest happiness in the world
is the conviction, that we are loved.
Loved for ourselves, or rather, in spite of ourselves.

–Victor Hugo
