Sophie, Dog Overboard : The Incredible True Adventures Of The Castaway Dog - Plot & Excerpts
Their initial instinct was to avoid speaking about what had happened, even to one another, and to move on. Their beloved Sophie was gone, but she was a dog, not a person. They hadn’t lost a daughter overboard, though the pain was still excruciating. But they had to behave differently to the way they would have done had it been Bridget or Ellen (and this horrifying thought haunted both of them) who toppled over the edge that day. The Griffiths believed that the bonds between pets and their humans ran incredibly deep. Still, there was only so much room in everyday socializing for the mourning of a cat or a dog. A week might be the limit for how long people can stomach discussions about how much someone misses their Greypuss or Oscar. Jan and Dave had both adored Sophie with a deep, true love, but they still felt that a sense of proportion needed to be maintained. In theory, at any rate. In practice, the aftermath of Sophie’s disappearance was a nightmare for both of them. It was a Saturday in October when Sophie went overboard.
