Obituary of Capone Greway

”People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”

The six-year-old continued, ”Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.”

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

• Take naps.

• Stretch before rising.

• Run, romp, and play daily.

• On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

• When you’re happy, dance around and wag.

• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

• Be faithful.

• Never pretend to be something you’re not.

• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

• When someone is having a bad day, be silent and sit close by.

"That's the secret of happiness that we can learn from a good dog.”
