The American playwright Eugene O'Neill and his wife Carlotta owned a Dalmatian when they lived in Paris in the 1930's. He will not know it is there until after I am dead. Then, remembering me in his loneliness, he will suddenly know of this testament, and I ask him then to inscribe it as a memorial to me. I have little in the way of material things to leave.
Dogs are wiser than men.
They do not set great store upon things. They do not waste their days hoarding property. They do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have, and to obtain the objects they have not. There is nothing of value I have to bequeath except my love and my faith. But if I should list all those who have loved me it would force my master to write a book.
