Emily Dickinson Multiple essays have been written about the Human-Animal Bond.  This blog presents a new concept for further discussion: The Immortality of the Human-Animal Bond.  As the child above hugs his geriatric friend, the bond of love cannot be severed.  Dr. Leo Buscaglia once stated that life must be lived to its fullest because no one knows when the journey will end.  A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.  Your special friend will one day complete one part of the journey and move on to the next.  I believe the next destination will be full of happiness without the pain of this world.  We will one day reunite with all of our special friends.  Till then, our memories sustain us and allow us great joy till we meet again.      Ther...
