How sweet that they made a little doghouse of it. The lady must have loved her precious Stephanus so much.

Great to see that the ancients had hearts and loved animals as we do. I have buried almost every dog I have had die on me and am not ashamed to say I have stood over the grave as I dug it and even after and cried like a baby. To this day I remember every dog I owned and that is a lot to say when I have forgotten so many so called human friends.

Artist Reply: I understand you well Donald..most of us have a story like that..I know some of my friends deeply depressed after their dogs' death..even,many years ago,my wife didn't talk to me for weeks for I accidently let our lovebird fly away from the cage..
