Elvis and Angel

Our beloved dogs were taken from us, by a speeding driver who did not see them crossing the road. He hit them both and threw them aside, where they landed side by side. Their last breaths were taken as they lay close, the way they always did. My daughter found them lying there and her screams were unbearable for the police officer to share. Her pain was so deep and intense to see, he tried to calm her, hold her back, let them be. Carrying them gently they made the trek, to place them softly upon our deck. Kneeling down she still could not accept the loss of our wonderful pets. Crying ourselves to sleep this night, only to awaken to hear my daughter's dream. The dream that Elvis and Angel had come back, happily wagging their tails in delight. Consumed by the dream she rushed outside to see if she could see Elvis and Angel running free. She had to accept this could not be, the painful sobs were wrenching to see for she knows now this can never be.
