Who crossed the "Rainbow Bridge" on April 14, 2003 after a brief battle with cancer
Please, God, if You should hear a
scratch on Eden's Gate tonight,
A gentle whine, a muffled bark; have Peter take a light
And open up the Pearly Gates and call his Spirit in,
For I think he lived in Heaven once; please take him back again.
He may have been a mongrel, without a pedigree,
Yet he was noble, kind and good; I think You will agree:
That he'll be very useful where the souls of children play.
He'll romp with them, and see; Dear God; they do not go astray.
Just tell him that we're sorry that we could not pat his head,
And whisper how we loved him 'ere his Spirit fled.
I pray that when death beckons, and my soul surmounts life's fog,
I'll rate a place in Heaven, Dear God, right beside our dog...

"[A] man’s dog stands by him
in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness... ...no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even to death.”
from: Eulogy of Old Drum
