The Last Will and Testament of an Extremely Distinguished Dog

In the early 1940s, famed playwright Eugene O'Neill wrote a moving piece of prose about his dog, Silverdene Emblem O'Neill (Blemie) where he eloquently and compassionately articulates what all dog owners feel as their pet nears the of its life. O'Neill's elegy has been lovingly restored to print and is beautifully illustrated by the award-winning quilt maker Adrienne Yorinks. The Last Will says everything that needs to be said to someone you love who is losing or has lost a beloved canine friend.
