I loved the story I read about him preferring the company of his German Shepherd to most people, too. That certainly belongs on a dog blog! I’ve always been drawn to dark stories, and his were some of the best! I’ve loved reading those books to kids for many years, too.

Thanks for sharing it Pamela. I played the vid and Ms Pea got terribly puzzled 😉

I’m concerned with how sanitized and safe we are trying to make life; children have fears – removing them from expression, from books like the real fairy tales and Maurice Sendak robs them of an outlet that says, yes, what you imagine can be bad, it can be tough – life isn’t easy but it is LIFE. Life is not perfect and too many are growing up expecting it to be so.

This video was probably supposed to be cute, but in this context, I can’t help but feel sad as well. Mr. Sednak touched millions of lives. I regret not knowing more about him until he was gone.

Sad but adorable. I love how the dog is tossing its head back, it’s almost as if he/she knows.
