Video honors a truly Great Dane
I love this video memorial to a Harlequin Great Dane. I don’t personally know the people or dog involved, but still the video speaks to my heart and to the loss I feel over my dog Winston. He looked and acted a lot like Amira, the Dane in this video.
The video’s winter scene is one of my favorite parts. Living in LA, I never got to take Winston to snow country, but now I can picture him there… or romping in the white clouds of dog heaven.
The video includes Sarah McLaughlin’s haunting song, “I will remember you” and this famous poem (poet unknown):
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Amen to that!

Oh my gosh, this video makes me so sad I'm going to cry. But it's nice to see how much this dog was loved.
That was beautiful Lynne... how gorgeous a Dane and how loved.. there were a few scenes i though, 'Chels does that!' thanks i enjoyed watching and reading the poem
I'm glad that this video touched some other hearts, too. I don't intend to make people sad, but to honor the dogs who make our lives so beautiful.
