Bernie, a Dog: Lessons for Life

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

The object is always more than the object itself. It is the soul of remembrance. The object tells stories, making you laugh, and, all too often, making you cry. But cry or laugh, the object remains. The story doesn't alter. And the story becomes what the object remembers. The soul lives again in the telling. Three objects -- a dusty harness collar, the last rose of winter, and a mound of dirt and tears -- bring back the soul of Bernie. Thus begins the telling.

Prologue

BERNIE: THE STORY OF A DOG

Debbie Robertson

“I think I could go and live with the animals…”

Walt Whitman

The object is always more than the object itself. It is the soul of remembrance. The object tells stories, making you laugh, and, all too often, making you cry. But cry or laugh, the object remains. The story doesn’t alter. And the story becomes what the object remembers. The soul lives again in the telling.

Three objects -- a dusty harness collar, the last rose of winter, and a mound of dirt and tears -- bring back the soul of Bernie.

Thus begins the telling.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
