Dubious Justice
“Apart from the box of toys they’d placed in the cupboard under the stairs, the newly dug grave was to be all that would remind them of their dearly departed pet dog, Henry. “He was loved every day of his life, Charlie. Never ill-treated, that’s all a dog ever wants in his life, to be treated with kindness, love, and respect. He’ll always be remembered, and once this tree grows, I’ll get Tony to build a seat around it and we’ll both be able to come and sit out here with him to contemplate the wo...rld and all its failings.”

We can attach it to the bark of the tree once it grows. How’s that?”MoreLess
