“In a quiet patch of ground in Louisiana, weathered by decades of seasons, lies a small stone marked with the name Buddie (1928-1941). The simple inscription, “Born a dog, Died a gentleman, reflects the enduring love between humans and their canine companions.
Graves like this remind us that dogs were not only guardians and helpers but cherished members of families long before the modern era of pet culture.
I found an old newspaper clipping about this grave on Findagrave.com
“he was a beautiful Irish setter, the owner (a Mrs. Jones) frequently took him to Kiroli Park to run. So when he died she decided to bury him in Kiroli Park”.
