Loss of a loved dog
Our beloved dog Shelby died this morning at the age of only 8 or 9 years old. We are devastated by the sudden loss. Our cat Maddie will miss her buddy.
This reminded me of women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate and her love of her dog. Described as the “light of her life” was Roberta’s pit bull terrier Binker. Journalism professor Carol Oukrop said of her friendship with Roberta, “It was a case of love me, love my dog.”
Binker was pictured with Roberta on her funeral card. He preeeded her in death by a year.
The following is from a column Carol wrote about Roberta: “On a table near where she spent many of her final hours, I found magazine tearsheets of an article titled ‘Do Dogs Go To Heaven?’ And I wept.”
Our Shelby will be missed.
