00:00He always knew when we were about to leave.
00:03Before anyone said a word, he already knew.
00:06He would hold my leg with his paws or pull on my shoelaces
00:10as if he was trying to stop time,
00:13as if he was saying, please don't go.
00:16But eventually, we always left.
00:20We got into the car and drove away.
00:23And every single time, he ran after us,
00:27past the houses, past the gardens,
00:30all the way through the village
00:32until his little legs couldn't carry him anymore.
00:35As a child, I thought he was chasing the car.
00:40Now I know he was chasing the people he loved.
00:43He couldn't follow us home, but his love did.
