I randomly came across “The Dog” on twitter after my dog had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. It made me weep, it perfectly encapsulated Dog. I ordered the book. I must tell you, I wept. There is such powerful feeling in so many of these poems. I am so thankful to that person on twitter who thought to post photos of the pages of that one poem on that one afternoon & for my eyes for seeing it & for my brain for saying “yes, let’s read this”.
