Wow, I truly like this. An interesting and different perspective of daily life.

In a comment on the Smithsonian Magazine article,

"In regards to the many questions about the dog, Clyde, rest assured that Clyde had died long before his owner, Dr. Krantz. It was Dr. Krantz himself who saved Clyde's bones and even started to articulate them before his illness and death. It was Dr. Krantz's wish that he be put on display with his favorite dog (he had also saved the bones of his other dogs, which are here at the museum). We tried to honor that wish as best we could. Perhaps when the Written in Bone exhibit closes in January of 2014 we can correct the anatomical placement of the canine remains. Until that time, Grover and Clyde will remain together in an embrace - imperfect as it is!"
