9. Dog's can be such a great comfort

I'm not mystical or believing in supernaturalism, but in situations like yours I amuse myself and comfort myself with thoughts like "If anyone's spirit is in that dog, it would be your wife". Protective and caring.

Someone passed away after going blind and having donated monthly to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for years before getting symptoms and after. Not long after, I saw their neighbour was training a guide dog for the blind. It just sorta happened, a coincidence, but one can enjoy how fitting and a propos it was.
