“A CANINE EULOGY TO THE TITANIC:
The ship’s log says that twelve dogs boarded The Titanic
Airedales
a King Charles Spaniel
Fox Terrier
Chow Chow
a Poodle
French Bulldog
Great Dane
a Newfoundland.

Two Pomeranians and a Pekingese were smuggled off in lifeboats concealed in blankets

a Scottish Deerhound de-boarded moments before leaving port

the captain returning the dog to his young daughter.

One woman lived the rest of her life haunted by the memory of her Poodle clinging to her pajamas as she left her cabin. The rip of fabric. The panicked cry. The scritch of nails on the wood of the cabin door.

Another left a lifeboat after being told her Great Dane was too large to be permitted to join her. Their bodies were found, days later. The woman frozen, still clutching her dog.

Who made the right choice?”
― Sassafras Lowrey, With Me

Sassafras’s Quotes

“Pinpoint the moment you thought you could not go on, the moment you thought all your hopes would fall short, the moment you truly believed everything you worked for would desert you, take you back to the start. That moment often changes your course, but never your heart. Harness those feelings, and use it for greatness.”
― Courtney Peppernell, I Hope You Stay
