I almost lost old Skip that day.
1:21:15
Even as he was sleeping
on the operating table...
1:21:18
...he was still teaching me.
1:21:23
That day...
1:21:25
...l became a young man.
1:21:32
Why, in childhood and youth...
1:21:34
...do we wish time
to pass so quickly?
1:21:38
We want to grow up so fast.
1:21:41
Yet as adults,
we wish just the opposite.
1:21:46
You're a good boy, Skip.
1:21:50
If, as the authorities
often declare...
1:21:52
...a dog's life in relation
to a human being's...
1:21:55
...can be calculated by
seven human years to his one...
1:21:58
... then Skip was an adult
when I was still a boy.
1:22:02
Sometimes it seemed as if he possessed
the wisdom of a creature...
1:22:06
...as old as time.
1:22:53
All the lessons you learn
in childhood...
1:22:56
...kind of come in waves.
