Good boy‚ Beau. Stay‚ Anna Quindlen is very descriptive in her essay. As I read the story I could visualize her dog and also sympathize with her feelings.

The Hare Krishna temple is a very interesting location to observe. The grounds are very large‚ and the temple itself is beautiful. There is a sort of corral next to the temple
