The dog of your boyhood...
1:25:16
... teaches you a great deal
about friendship and love and death.
1:25:22
I was an only child.
1:25:25
He was an only dog.
1:25:31
Old Skip was 1 1...
1:25:33
...and feeble with arthritis...
1:25:37
...but he never lost that
old devilish look in his eye.
1:25:53
He made my room his own.
1:25:58
Came across an old photo
of him not long ago.
1:26:03
His little face...
1:26:04
... with the long snout sniffing
at something in the air.
1:26:08
His tail was straight out
and pointing...
1:26:11
...eyes were flashing
in some momentary excitement.
1:26:35
He always loved to be rubbed
on the back of his neck.
1:26:38
And when I did it,
he'd yawn, and he'd stretch...
1:26:42
...reach out to me with his paws...
1:26:44
...as if he was trying to embrace me.
1:26:54
I received a transatlantic
call one day.
1:26:57
"Skip died"...
1:26:59
...Daddy said.
