Nanook 5 years old, died from strychnine poisoning on a sunny morning March 5, 2010.
I thank Laila for doing all she could to help Nanook from succumbing to the poison and also for having taken the time to ease my pain. Nanook, a blue-eyed angel, the dog of my life, was one of those beings who have an uncommon comprehension, a sensitivity, a capacity for Love. When I looked into her eyes, I saw a soul, a great soul and each time I was intrigued by that special aspect as if it reflected something sacred. As I often used to say, she was my extension; we had an exceptional relationship and understood each other with merely a look. Some say that we were like a fusion, and it was true. She helped to open my heart where she found a unique place. She was able to accompany me in all the moments of my life; my Path was not an easy one and she was always there at every step to support me; she wiped away every tear, snuggled up against me; she shared every laugh with her own sparkling joy. Dear friend, you departed so suddenly and in such unforgettable terrible suffering; it was if my heart had been torn life from me. You leave a great void, a terrible void but all the same my heart, where you will stay forever, is full of your love. Thank you for being You, thank you for sharing this part of the path with me, thank you for your Love and your Teaching. I love you.
