Bucky
Our Pets Make Us Human series continues with the history of Bucky as told by MLD.
A white Japanese Spitz was loitering around the church one day during choir practice. I allowed him to follow me home after we closed up. We waited for someone to claim him. Days passed but no one came forward. So he became ours.
He was a very smart dog, obstinate and with a sense of pride that only cats can pull off. We even suspected that he was actually a person, probably hexed into being a dog. Bucky’s greatest moment was when he appeared in a Powerbooks print ad with me in 2004 and he even participated in the first PAWS Furry Tales held in SM Megamall. He gamely wore a bespoke kimono with a tiny pillow strapped to his back and strutted eagerly on the stage. He loved the limelight.
Bucky has passed on. He was probably around 12 yrs old (he was already full grown when he joined us). He left us his offspring, Winter and his grand-offspring Happy and some of the best memories one could ever have.
