After years of having a dog, you know them. You know the meaning of their snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or a statement, every wag of the tail an exclamation.

Sister Barbara Hance (1928-1993)

Photo: John Schoenwalter

What a photograph, by John Schoenwalter. The text is from a conversation I had with Sister Barbara Hance, a few days before she died. Sister Barbara was one of the founders of the Emmaus homeless shelter (more on which on the back of the card). She was a devout nun, of course, but with a mind of her own. On that day she said that the priest was about to come to give her last rites. “It doesn’t make much sense to me,” she said. “What makes sense to you?” I asked. “Eagles,” Barbara said. We have eagles around here. You don’t see them every day, but they’re not rare. The day Barbara died, and for more than a week afterward, there was almost always an eagle in the sky over her house. No fooling. – MB

I looked and looked at this simple, enchanting photograph by Texas photographer Robert Langham III, and could not find a quotation. So I wrote what it said to me. It must say the same thing to many people, because the card (and magnet) are so popular. MB

Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative.
Mordecai Siegal (1934-2010) Photo: Jim Dratfield/Paul Coughlin

Jim Dratfield was working as a waiter, hoping to become a famous photographer, when he shot these three gents. Now the dignified trio is well known: tens and tens and tens of thousands of the cards have been mailed. Jim and Petography have gotten their fame, too, with an ever-growing collection of dogs, cats, and horses of the famous, and of people next door.

Mordecai Siegal was a legend among pet fanciers. His books on training, health, and care are benchmarks.

Number 41 was one of our very first cards, and still is a best-seller. Why do you suppose that is?
