Decades after his demise, Dad still talks about his childhood dog, Dusty -- recalling him as his "best friend" and, because he can, sculpting his likeness in a Rodman backyard stump. When he's gone (Yeager, not Dad), I'm not sure I'll recall him that way, but he does force me outside twice a day no matter the weather and I read a lot of gratitude into his open-mouth pants.
