Time To Say Goodbye
UNEXPECTED GOODNESS
As anyone who has had a pet knows, animals are special creatures. They add so much love, joy and friendship to our lives. With their unique personalities and ability to love wholeheartedly, animals quickly become more than pets. They become members of the family.
Mellow, the dog, had walked the streets of Dupont, Pennsylvania with his owner, Kevin Curry, twice a day since September 2019. In so doing, Mellow became a beloved member of the neighborhood.
When the time came for Curry to take Mellow out for one last lap before his journey to “doggie heaven,” the entire town came out to say goodbye. “There were at least 25 people on the first block,” Curry said. “When I looked to the next block, there was another 20. That’s how the whole walk went.” It is amazing how one pet can bring a community together.
