The dog’s community

"And so it is, dog. Always is a leash not a leash but a bond between us."

I received a text message. That went straight to the heart. My best friend Johan wrote about his Saga. A yellow hunting lab. That listened to my voice in a message. And Johan formulated it so beautifully. He wrote about the dog's community. So then I continued on that thread, to all of us who have a dog.

 

The dog’s community

If life were infinite, Saga. Do you want to be there? Your owner wrote about the dog's community.

By the oak.

                    In the forest.

                                           In the city.

                                                             In every. Moment. And in every paw-step.

You carry the whole wide world on your soft nose, in your fur, at your paw pads. Under your ears. It is so, Saga. No doubt lies in your relationships.

In your DNA. To love is completely unconditional in a world of nose prints and paw prints.

Along Stämbråten's winding forests. On Bjursholmsplan's warm asphalt. We see five prints.

One is for worry.

                       One is for trust.

                                          One is for community..

                                                                                  One is for comfort.

                                                                                                                   One is for memory.

                                          And so it is, dog. Always is a leash not a leash but a bond between us.
