There is one best place to bury a dog...
If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call-come to you over
the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down the well remembered path, and to
your side again
And though you may call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him
or resent his coming, for he belongs there.
People may scoff at you who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall,
who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at
them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and is well worth
the knowing.

Someone asked once "What does a Borzoi have to bring to your life?" My reply
follows.
What do they have to bring? 10-14 years of living with the most beautiful, powerful,
loyal,fast,feral, aristocratic canine athlete that ever graced the planet, and
unimaginable grief when you bury one.
