Goodbye
Buster bounded through the field, trampling daisies as he ran.
“Come on, boy. Let’s go.” Max called out to his canine pal. “I’ve got your favourite steak at home. Come on!”
Petra gently put a hand on Max’s shoulder. “Come on Maxy, we need to go.” She squeezed. Max turned, his eyes moist with unshed tears.
“He’s not coming back, is he?”
Petra swallowed a sob. She always knew this would be the hardest part, scattering the ashes of the family’s beloved pet dog in his favourite field.
Shaking her head, she took Max’s hand as her tears fell.
