Grab a tissue as I tell you about a man in Pennsylvania who took a dying dog for a walk around the neighborhood……. Where everyone in that neighborhood showed up to say goodbye.
Mellow the dog was well known in his neighborhood. For years, his human, Kevin, took Mellow out for walks twice a day. But, Mellow was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma and he wasn’t given much more time. So Kevin, speaking for Mellow, sent a letter to everyone around the block saying, “I will be marching around the neighborhood on Saturday, June 3 from 7-8PM and would love to say goodbye to you face-to-face if you are available. Come out to pat me on the head or rub my belly and I will be forever grateful.”
Everybody showed up to let Mellow know how much the loved him. Groups got together at every corner. Some pet Mellow, Some cried.
Kevin said that Mellow hasn’t given him one bad day in the 7 years that they’ve together. It sounds like they have both been very good boys.
I sure hope all of our pets are there when we get to heaven. If not, God and I are going to end up wrestling.
