Mirandas Last Gift - The Article Book Club
Perhaps my greatest moral failing is that I don’t like animals. Dogs, cats, the cutest panda you ever did see—meh, I’ll stick with the anthropocene.
But I do at times envy the deep bond pet owners have with their furry friends. My former colleague Leah once wrote an article in which she got life advice from 50 of the world's most successful women. The most common piece of advice? Get a dog.
Still, I wasn’t expecting to feel so moved—almost to tears—reading David Frum’s essay on caring for his daughter’s Cavalier King Charles spaniel after she passed away.
It’s a beautiful piece of writing and a good reminder of how our pets can make us more human.
Warmly,
Simo
P.S. The song of the week was the first hip-hop song I loved. It’s from a mixtape my older brother left in the family car after he left for college. The full songs of the week playlist is here.
