Mary Oliver: What Would the World Be Like?

Son Matt with our 11 year old lab, Mac

Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. 

It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor 

as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, 

and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like 

without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? 

What would this world be like without dogs?
