Took Dunc the golden retriever see friend who is passing. A Con Thien veteran fine fellow.

This former Vietnam vet he this man understands he’s gonna pass soon to describe this man he’s always been a beautiful person . We both our old union drivers I’m 59 he’s I think 76 in age.

Yet the violence my friend experienced as young Marine it never stopped his kindness to others.

And you know dogs understand when someone is not long for this world.

Dunc the golden retriever chonk climbed in my friend bed to cuddle Don. And just snuggled my friend. There is never a moment if Dunc and I are together if I move he’s on me as in dad where you going we can’t be apart.

Yet my furry boy laid with my friend to comfort him and it’s fact dogs understand when we are close to going into breach.

I think Dunc was saying father I’m needed here at this moment I’m gonna cuddle love this guy. I’ve never had a moment where I get out of my golden boys and he’s not on my ass as in he Dunc is glue on me.

Alls I’m saying in this dyslexic ramble Don my friend is good fellow and dunc is best boy.
