The earth trembled and a great rift appeared, separating the first man and woman from the rest of the animal kingdom. As the chasm grew deeper and wider, all the other creatures, afraid for their lives, returned to the forest – except for the dog, who after much consideration leapt the perilous rift to stay with the humans on the other side. His love for humanity was greater than his bond to other creatures, he explained and he willingly forfeited his place in paradise to prove it.
I love you, Banjo.

That picture really fantastic, and a perfect way to remember Banjo. I remember first coming up to your apartment in Brooklyn and Banjo’s bark being so enormous that it filled up the apartment and the hall. I was proud to have had a working relationship with him–me who is generally afraid of dogs. And I really remember fondly our walk through Brooklyn together. I wish we could do another wandering.
I love you, and love Banjo. <3
