Brythen

[bunn]

Someone out searching for Brythen found his body this morning.  He was in a field we had searched but in the middle where the long grass hid him.  I think he must have jumped into the field after a deer and had a heart attack almost immediately.

At least I know.   I've been out searching basically since Sunday and so have huge numbers of other people who all turned out to help.  People came from all around and drove up from Plymouth to help search and his poster was shared all over the country in case someone had stolen him.  I just wish, I wish they had found him alive.  

I'm trying to tell myself that it is better to know, and better to go quickly.  I should have done better keeping him safe.

I don't really think it's possible to keep someone you love *safe* - only to try to help them to be happier while they're with you, and be happier because you're with them. And there's no doubt that you did all that.

I'm sitting here crying for him, though, because I fell in love with him from a distance. And that's a lovely photo, one ear up and one ear down.

He was a dog worth crying for, he really was. I suppose they all are, in a way, but he was a very easy dog to love.
