    . Info & history .

  This song was my contribution for the multichannel music competition
  held at Assembly`2000 during 3-6th of August. It finished on 7th place.
  This version is slightly different from the Assembly`2000 multichannel
  competition version, and from the official version released a couple
  of days after the event. I`ve given the song more lenght with few
  unused ideas I had, and to make it suit diskmagazine usage better,
  I`ve reduced the quality of the samples in order to get the filesize
  smaller, and also the use of Stereo samples is been removed to save
  space. Few channel consuming echoes have been removed aswell, plus
  I`ve shortened the use of active channels in order to make the song
  less CPU consuming. Also the two stories beneath which were in the
  previous versions in finnish language are now translated into english
  as requested. This song is dedicated to my precious little doggie
  called Peggy. For all the joy and memorable moments she has given
  me and my family.



    . Stories to read while you listen .

  Here are two true-life stories of dogs and their sensitive natures,
  and how we humans come emotionally attached to these wonderful
  creatures. The text is now translated to english language.
  Read them while you`re listening to the song. You know what
  they say: "A dog is a man`s best friend."


  . Story of Martha .

  When our beloved Martha, a labradorian retriever, was buried, it was
  a typical day in November, one you could imagine at worst weather.
  Few of Martha`s closest friends among his family members were included
  in the funeral procession. It had been decided amongst the closest
  people that Martha`s ashes were to spread on the shores of, what we
  called "Dog Paradise", Borderstrait. There the departed had spent the
  most happiest days of her life, running free on the ice and swimming
  in the summers. In these landscapes and sceneries we wanted to see her
  running with our mind`s eye for forever.

  The burial candle just barely lit in the shelter of a stone as
  Martha`s urn was opened and her spirit continued its journey to
  the heavens above with a breeze of wind. A bottle of sparkling
  wine was opened, and for the last time glasses were clinked for
  Martha`s memory. We are absolutely sure that even today Martha is
  running free and full of enjoyment on the shores of Borderstrait.

    . Everytime a pet departures, there are always certain feelings
    of quilt and thoughts if some things could have been done better
    related to the grief and mourning period. It`s the exact same
    process you go through when a fellowmen close to you dies.



  . Story of Hugo .

  Hugo was a Finnish Spitz look-alike (Suomen pystykorva) stray dog,
  and that`s how he eventually got to us. We had come familiar to each
  other at our acquaintances, where Hugo had come from unknown origin
  after drifting through several violent homes. Hugo had been beaten
  from his head, and he was extremely suspicious and sceptical. When
  we were as guests at his last home, he was guarding us an inch apart
  from our feet. If you moved your leg even one bit, he would get a
  hysteric episode, and so would we. This kind of dog Hugo was when we
  later on had to pick him up outside our acquaintances house, after
  we had received a phone call from the airport saying: "Hugo is there
  in a leash, if you don`t pick him up, he`ll starve to death or die of
  thirst."

  So this is how we got together, Hugo and a young couple living by
  themselves. Hugo`s new owners were young, and therefore willing to
  love and suffer because of their love. Little by little they came
  closer to each other, trust was gradually increased, and life became
  stable. Hugo`s wounds were slowly healed, and the new owners learned
  where they shouldn`t touch behind Hugo`s ear if they didn`t want a
  bite mark on their thumb. Finally after all the painfull years of
  wondering from one home to another, Hugo believed that his drifting
  days are over. He had finally found his own place in this world,
  atleast so he imagined. Sometimes you could see him smiling secretly
  to himself while he was in this good faith. Until it had to happen,
  faiths last devilish strike - Hugo`s lifes biggest catastrophe.

  One day the lady of the house had vanished strangely for few days.
  When she came back, she had a funny smelling bundle in her arms.
  Struck by horror, Hugo did something unthinkable, which no one had
  even dreamed of. Hugo rushed to his hostess and jumped straight to
  her arms, and on top of the odd bundle. The bundle let out a terrible
  noise, and so did the owners. After this incident Hugo`s life was all
  downhill. He quickly grew old in front of their eyes. In just two
  weeks his beard became grey, his eyes misty and blur, and he also
  lost his hearing.

  Then on one morning he suprised his host. Hugo forced himself along
  the buss door, and just wouldn`t leave no matter what. After a couple
  buss stops, all of a sudden Hugo walked out of the buss - and that
  was the last time they saw Hugo ever again.

    . Later on, when the owners of Hugo had a conversation of him
    with a veterinarian, he instantly stated "very familiar behavior".
    Certainly a dog`s heart can break just as easily as human`s.
    The veterinarian also knew stories about these man`s best
    friends who in deep desperation had plunged into water in
    clear suicide intentions.



  . Closing words .

  These two heartbraking true-life stories are good examples that a dog
  really is a man`s best friend. I own a dog myself who`s very dear and
  precious to me, and I know when the time comes to say final goodbyes
  to my dear Peggy, I`ll be more sad and heartbroken than ever before.

  This was one of the reasons why I wanted to dedicate this song to her,
  so that I would know deep down in my heart that I`ve been good and
  kind, loving towards her when those after departure feelings of quilt
  come, so that I can see with my own eyes that I`ve thought about you
  and done things for you out of pure love. This one is for you Peggy..
