Saddest Story Ever

Today's entry at Girls Are Pretty (http://www.girlsarepretty.com/) put me in mind of the Saddest Story Ever. Here it is:

When my dad was little - maybe two or three years old - he and his sister (just a year older) were given a puppy for Christmas. Of course they were thrilled. They were in love. They were as happy as anyone can be on Christmas morning. They loved the puppy so much that they did what, for three and four year olds is perhaps the most selfless and loving thing: they gave the puppy all of their Christmas chocolates from their stockings. As you may or may not know, dear reader, chocolate is poisonous to dogs. They fed the puppy which they loved more than anything all of their chocolate because they loved it so much, and the puppy got sick and died.

Saddest Story Ever.
