Implications of a Grieving Dog

her friend showed her a picture of a grieving dog---it’d been roaming round the net apparently & when he did, the look on his own face was sad to begin with, for the scene of the dog laying on the floor flat in front of the coffin, was one that brought about the propinquity of the possible deaths of those older than him whom he loved dearly (for in the moment looking at the picture, the relation between the grieving dog created anxiety regarding the ensuing months & years of grievance to come, if as a human, one has ever loved at all---this is where the healthy inevitably lose) & when she saw it she turned her head quick, as if she’d seen a car accident in the making, slowly pulling her head back after a pause to look at her friend, saying without words “why did you show me this?”
