a dog standing on the side of a dirt road

“Large black dogs can be a dark omen, did you know that? They foretell death, just like banshees do, and they follow you, and if you but look at them in the eye you are condemned. Still I´d rather see a dog when the time comes. The soft fur and the glassy eyes and the friendly bark of a playful hound, to take me gently to the realms of heaven.” ― Oscar de Muriel // CC0 Public Domain Image
