“I recently lost my partner." "Your business partner?" "No. My dog. But not just a dog." "Of course," he said instantly "Some dogs are not just dogs."

I will remember my old strength and all my forest affairs.

I will forget my ankle-ring and snap my picket stake.
I will revisit my lost love and playmates masterless!”
― Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Books
