A TRIBUTE TO OUR LATE PUP, HAILEY
WHAT DOGS CAN TEACH US ABOUT LIFE AND LOVE
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always considered myself a dog person. Their wagging tails, goofy smiles, and palpable joy resonated with me as a child, and in the years since, I can’t help but feel delightfully overwhelmed when I meet a new dog. But even though my admiration for canines is deep-seated, it wasn’t until last month, when my wife and I had to put our sweet pup Hailey to sleep, that I truly realized the lingering impact a dog can have on one’s life. When Rachel and I first started dating in college, we had two beautiful puppies, Hailey, a 6-month-old boxer mix, and Clyde, a 4-month-old Great Dane. As you can imagine, their undeniable puppy cuteness won us over quickly, and in the 11 years since they joined our family, they brought such magic and adventure into our lives. So a few weeks ago when Hailey started coughing, we sensed something was wrong and took our sweet girl to the vet. The X-ray was questionable, so they recommended us to a specialist, but her cough progressed so quickly that we couldn’t wait for the appointment. We paid an emergency visit to the specialist
who then gave us the news we sensed might come but dreaded wholeheartedly: We could expect to spend only a couple more weeks with her. “WHILE HAVING TO ACCLIMATE TO LIFE WITHOUT ONE OF OUR BEST FRIENDS HAS CERTAINLY BEEN TOUGH, I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME LATELY THINKING ABOUT THE WAYS HAILEY ENRICHED OUR LIVES OVER THE PAST DECADE.” While having to acclimate to life without one of our best friends has certainly been tough, I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about the
ways Hailey enriched our lives over the past decade. Thinking about the lessons she taught me about life and love has made her passing a little bit easier for me, so I thought I’d share them with you, too. LOYALTY. It’s long been determined that the domesticated dogs we know and love today descended from wolves in the wild. I’ve always found it fascinating (albeit not that surprising) that wolves choose to live in packs. The loyalty each member of the pack displays toward one another seemed to adapt into the

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Dogs can teach humans so much about love, relationships, and caring for someone else without conditions. Regardless of how often my mood wavered, Hailey approached, treated, and loved me exactly the same. As humans, we struggle with this feat, but if we could all eradicate the conditions we place on our relationships with our friends and family, I honestly believe the world would be a better place. ACCEPTANCE. Dogs don’t hold grudges. If there was a day where I was particularly busy and forgot to give Hailey a treat at the time that I usually do, she didn’t hold it against me. She might have sensed something was missing, but she was just as excited to accept the gift the next time around. Hailey was always quick to forgive, and she never held grudges. And as I sit and
relationships that dogs like Hailey share with their owners. Sad day or happy day, sunny day or cloudy day, dogs will always be there for you, and they will forever be excited to see you the minute you walk in the door.
think about all her great qualities, I can’t help but wonder how great life would be if all us humans could take a page out of her book. Any pet owner knows that the sad reality of bringing an animal into your world is that they will eventually pass away, but that doesn’t make the relationship and adventure you share any less meaningful. Spending the last 11 years with Hailey taught me to never take a close friendship, a sunny day, or a comfy bed for granted and to love the ones you’re with for as long as you can. Thanks for everything, Hailey. You really were man’s best friend.
