'Pure Souls' 

Editor:

Dogs ... the only love money can buy. My heart goes out to Setlist reporter Collin Yeo on the recent loss of his dog.

As someone who has had to carry out several times that final act of love that Yeo details, his recent column "He Was a Friend of Mine" (March 21) is a poignant reminder to cherish the time we have with our loved ones ... four-footed and otherwise. In our grief, we have to remind ourselves how privileged we have been to be blessed with such pure souls as beloved companions.

What is remembered lives forever, Collin — love most of all.
